Z e. TE WINDOWS 
PATENTED 


| Fenestra Service 


HIS CATALOG does not list prices as these depend almost entirely on the types of sash used— 
number of openings—amount of ventilation desired, etc. 
Our experience as manufacturers of the first solid steel window in America is at the service of those 
who desire to take advantage of the best obtainable information and suggestions, before installing 
window equipment. A general square foot price list designed as a guide for approximate estimating will be 
sent on request. 

Without any obligation to the prospective user of windows, we shall be glad to furnish estimates and sug- 
gestions embodying the most economical arrangement of our FENESTRA standards. The placement of 
lighting and ventilating is most important for satisfactory designs of industrial plants. Each type of 
building has an individual problem to be solved to get the highest efficiency and for this reason we offer our 
FENESTRA Designing Service. Our Engineering and Estimating Departments are maintained solely for this 
purpose, and in addition we have the following representatives in other cities who are similarly equipped:

Compare These 


Contrast the picture on this page with the one on the page opposite. 
Notice how dark this interior is as compared to the other. 


Imagine the difference in the amount of air and light that enters these 
two rooms! 


And yet both pictures were made from practically the same point in the 
plant of the Studebaker Corporation in South Bend, Indiana. One photograph 
was taken before the building was remodeled and while it was still equipped 
with wood sash. The other was made after the wood sash had been replaced 
by FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows. 


Many manufacturers are discovering, as the Studebaker people discovered, 
that good buildings are conducive to good work, and that air and light are 
important factors in any employee's efficiency. 


1-7 
Wood Sash vs. 
Fenestra 


Two Photographs 


FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows are being specified by men who are 
building for day-long natural illumination, perfect ventilation and en- 
vironment that creates maximum efficiency. Incidentally, FENESTRA 
also makes for permanence and fire-protection and reduces to a mini- 
mum the cost of artificial light. 

Good builders generally admit that the old fashioned, short lived, inflam- 
mable wood sash, which rot, warp, stick, and admit only a restricted amount 
of the light and air, should have no place in modern buildings. 

The use of wood sash generally indicates either that the builder is indifferent 
to the subject of windows and their advantages, or that he wrongly believes 
wood sash is cheaper than steel. 


1-8 
Advantages of 
Fenestra 


Senge 


Investment Advantages 


Maximum Daylighting 


FENESTRA is conceded to be the window that gives the maxi- 
mum amount of natural light. Twenty-five to thirty-five 
per cent additional daylighting is the improvement of 
pees: “Window Walls” over the average type of wood 
sash. 


Perfect Ventilation 


FENESTRA gives plenty of fresh air,—above your head if desir- 
ed,—where you can’t feel the draft. Ventilators are designed so 
they can be operated at any point in the sash to meet the 
special requirements of your building. 


Weather Protection 


Walls of FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows keep out both wind 
and weather. All joints and the union of the outside window 
section with the surrounding building, are perfectly weathered. 
Ventilators close with a flat, continuous, double contact. 


Protection Against Fire 


Insurance companies recognize the protection which FENESTRA 
gives and Luminated factories frequently secure lower insur- 
ance rates than others. 


Increased Efficiency 


Workmen who labor in bright, airy factories, do more and 
better work than men working under less favorable conditions. 
We have letters from concerns which have saved several hours 
a day by the installation of FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows. 


Increased Safety, Health, Accuracy 


Daylight, fresh air, good working conditions are prime requi- 
sitesfor maximum output in any factory. Accidents, errors, 
ill health are largely done away with through the elimination 
of darkness and poor ventilation. 


Increased Floor Space 


Inalmost every factory somecornersare in shadow. This means 
idle floor space or at least space that is not giving maximum 
efficiency. FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows light the factory 
thoroughly—they render every inch of floor space useful. 
Simplicity of Operation 

FENESTRA ventilators are operated by a chain and spring 
catch or a notched stay and cam latch. They can be opened 
to almost any angle, are automatically fastened in closing and 


can be locked from the inside—multiple ventilators can be 
operated in unison or independently. 


Low Cost of Installation 


Certain types of FENESTRA most used by builders have been 
standardized in our factory, and these standard sections can 
be furnished at a price fully as low as the price of wood sash. 
The saving in maintenance expense makes the cost of 
FENESTRA actually less than wood. 


Low Cost of Maintenance 


Once installed, FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows are there to 
stay. Their durability is such that they never need to be 
replaced. Repairs, though seldom necessary, are easily ac- 
complished. 


Architecturally Attractive 


Many builders have complimented us on the beauty of the 
FENESTRA joint. They say that the vertical bars overlapping 
at the joint give an especially pleasing appearance, particu- 
larly to large bays or long sidewalls. 


Reduced Light Bills 


FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows admit good usable daylight 
through a factory long after it has grown dusk in a building 
equipped with ordinary windows. It is estimated that there 
are 65 working hours a week in a FENEsTRA lighted factory, 3 
days extra every month. 


Mechanical Advantages 


Solid Steel Bars 


Every bar of the FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows shows in 
cross-section that it is solid throughout—not ‘“‘built up,” 
“assembled,” or ‘‘wired’’ together under presses. 


All Bars Continuous 
FENESTRA Solid Steel Windows are made from bars which run 
continuously from jamb to jamb and from head to sill. These 
bars are interlocked by the patent FENESTRA joint which adds 
strength at the point of intersection. 


Adjustable Butts, Removable Vents 
Removable, adjustable butts with which all FENESTRA Venti- 
lators are equipped permit these ventilators to be easily and 
quickly removed when desired. This is one of the strong points 
in FENESTRA construction. 


Automatic Cam Latch 
The gravity cam latch which is standard on all FENESTRA Solid 
Steel Windows ‘‘rides’’ the weathering section at the sill of 
the opening, automatically catches, and by a single down- 
ward turn of the handle is locked absolutely and completely. 


Sections of Minimum Size 
FENESTRA Sections are guaranteed as to strength and durabil- 
ity while at the same time their light, thin bars admit the 
maximum amount of daylight and add grace to the general 
lines of the building. 


Double Contact Weathering 
By the use of a patented channel section, securely riveted 
in place, a positive contact at two parallel points is secured 
around the entire edge of every ventilator, giving an actua 
and positive double weathering. 


Fenestra Flexibility 


Constant slight variations in the size of window openings must 
be taken care of by the flexibility of the sash. FENESTRA is 
admirably suited to such adjustments and variations; like a 
steel truss, it is flexible until erected and properly anchored, 
but when correctly installed it is as rigid as a solid stone wall. 


Deep Glass Recesses 


FENESTRA has particularly deep recesses for fitting glass, 
thereby giving the sash a good weathering body of putty. 
This makes it easier to glaze and more serviceable after- 
wards. 
Standard Sizes 

FENESTRA is made in certain standard and stock sizes to facili- 
tate delivery. We recommend our standard sizes wherever 
possible and can quote a much better price on such sash than 
can be quoted on that which is especially designed for one 
particular order. 


Five Factory Inspections 
Five individual factory inspections involving ventilator, 
weathering, joints, operation of cam latch and assembled 
window assure the mechanical correctness of every FENESTRA 
sash before it leaves the factory. 


Exceptional Strength 
A heavy angle section known as our ‘‘No. 94”’ is now standard 
on all FENESTRA sash at head, jambsand sill. This gives extra 
strength at the point where the sash is attached to the build- 
ing, also effective weathering and easy erection. 

Fenestra Spring Glazing Clip 
The FENESTRA Spring Glazing Clip, makes the glazing of 
FENESTRA the easiest operation imaginable. No tool needed 
except a putty knife. This is another exclusive feature.

| Fenestra Mechanically Perfect 


hes precaution is taken to assure absolute mechanical correctness in all FENESTRA Solid 
Steel Windows. Every sash is given a rigid inspection and particular attention is paid to the 
little details of mechanical accuracy. Ventilators are inspected separately for perfect construc- 
tion, and again inspected after they are fitted to the frame. To insure perfect operation, all 
ventilators are equipped with the improved, adjustable and removable butts, which permit the 
adjustment of ventilators after the sash have been installed. All pivot ends of the solid steel 
bars are riveted over by pneumatic hammers and drawn tight. The FENEsTRA Joint gives a posi- 
tive lock at the intersections of the muntins, at a sacrifice of a minimum amount of steel. All 
locking wings at intersections are hammered down on rigid steel dies to make an absolutely 
tight joint, which is positively weather proof, allowing no chance for corrosion. This feature is 
exclusive in FENESTRA, and adds durability which cannot be secured in any other make. 


Completeness of the Fenestra Line

lighting and ventilation:

How Joint 
is Made 


HE construction of the FENESTRA Joint is one of 

the most interesting features of FENESTRA win- 
dow manufacture. 

A slot is first punched in the stem of the vertical 

muntin wide enough to allow the stem of the horizon- 

tal member to pass through it. The head of the 


Punching the slot in the vertical muntin 


vertical bar is then pressed so that its inner 
surface has the same curve as the outer sur- 
face of the horizontal muntin. The locking 
wing is then opened far enough to clear the 
horizontal muntin. 


All this is accomplished by one machine, 
which is shown in the photograph. The 
operator is feeding in the rolled steel bar 
which has already been cut to the desired 
length to form a vertical muntin. The ma- 
chine performs all the necessary operations 
and the joint punching is shown complete at 
the left of the machine. The details are 
shown in the circle. 


The horizontal muntin has only a small 
notch which acts as a lock against any side 
movement. To assemble this joint, the hori- 
zontal muntin is slipped through the vertical 
and the locking wing forced into place. Less 
than 20% of the steel is removed to form 
this joint. 


The Vertical bar is shown on the left,

The Origin of Fenestra 


HE first steel windows of which we have record 
were made about 2,000 years ago, but they were 
crude hand-made affairs fashioned by blacksmiths. 


Fifty years agowhen steel rolling mills first began to 
roll commercially satisfactory muntin bars, metal 
windows as we know them today, assumed importance 
as a building commodity. 

At first the “miter joint’? was the only method 
known by which muntin bars could be intersected to 
form sash. This meant that about 50% of the steel 
had to be cut away at the joint and it was necessary 
to use very heavy members in order to build windows 
that would withstand heavy wind pressures. 

A German invented the ‘“‘FENEsTRA Joint” in 1899, 
and its manufacture was begun at Frankfort-on-the- 
Main shortly afterward. 


The chief advantage of the FENESTRA Joint over 
the mitered joint lies in the fact that the muntin bars 


are interlocked instead of mitered, the interlocking 
process sacrificing only 20% of the steel as compared 
to the mitered joint’s 50%. Naturally, the FENESTRA 
Joint is much stronger and offers greater resistance to 
shock, vibration and wind pressure. 


The FENESTRA Joint was recognized immediately 
as the acme of steel window joint construction, and 
it immediately became so popular that several other 
factories were started in Germany as well as in Eng- 
land, Italy and Belgium. 


About 1909 the Detroit Steel Products Company 
began to build this sash and put on the market the 
first solid steel window made in America. 


The solid steel bars which first made the FENEs- 
TRA Sash so popular are still points of superiority 
throughout the entire FENESTRA line. Every section 
is made from specially rolled solid steel.

Fenestra Sections 


HE successful manufacturer of solid steel sash demands that the different bars or members 

of which the sash are made, be of special steel so formed as to meet all requirements of 
strength, utility and structural variation. The FENESTRA sections are the result of years of 
experience and offer at once maximum utility, sufficient strength for all requirements, and 
lowest cost to the purchaser. 


These statements are founded on the actual experience, which we had, during the early years 
of our organization, with the various types of hollow metal, pressed steel, and built-up sections. 


The corrosion of steel, one of the most serious problems confronting the prospective user of 
steel sash, was the determining factor governing our decision to abandon all forms of sections 
except the solid rolled steel type. 


The uses of the different sections are briefly explained in the following paragraphs: 


Section 59—Used exclusively as a glazing angle 
to hold wire glass in the sash. This method of 
glazing is not recommended except in partitions; 
underwriters’ sash or in those rare cases where the 
failure of one light of glass would cause irreparable 
damage. 


Section 60—Horizontal bars used in conjunction 
with our 90 bar for Horizontally Rolling Sash. 


Section 61—Special shape used at the bottom of 
Continuous FENESTRA monitor sash, giving extra 
strength to the sash at point of greatest strain and 
giving a tight point of contact at sill. 


Section 62—Used as the vertical muntin bars of 
continuous FENESTRA monitor. 


Section 63—Used as the head member of con- 
tinuous FENESTRA monitor. The pivots are at- 
tached to this section. 


Section 64—Used as the jamb member of con- 
tinuous FENESTRA monitor whenever it becomes 
necessary to divide a long run or to join with the 
building structure. 


Section 70—Ventilator Weathering member 
used as the bottom bar of ventilators. The long 
down-standing leg offering a perfect drip and pro- 
tection against weather and adding extra stiffness 
at sill of ventilator. 


Section 71—The reverse of section 70 and used as 
the top bar of ventilators in cases where added 
strength is necessary. 


Section 86—Used on the sash as a weathering 
section at the sill of standard vents. 


Section 87—Used only on vertical pivoted sash 
as a weathering member at the sill. 


Section 88—Special weathering section used at 
the head of extremely wide ventilators. This sec- 
tion is used only where, in our experience, it is con- 
sidered advantageous. 


Section 89—Used as a weathering section at both 
jambs of ventilators giving a two-point flat contact. 


Section 90—This;section is used as the interior 
muntin bars, both vertical and horizontal, for all 


FENESTRIA sash. The vertical bar is punched for 
FENESTRA joint and the horizontal bar is notched 
for locking. 


Section 91—Used at the jambs, head or sill of 
frames in cases where a flat surface is desirable. 


Section 92—This section is used as an outside 
member at head, sill and jambs. It is recommended 
only in special cases. The 94 section is amuch more 
servicable and heavier section for outside framing. 


Section 93—Used as the sill member of vents in 
special cases, and head, sill and jamb members of 
frames. This section is used at the discretion of our 
Engineering Department, where special conditions 
make it desirable. 


Section 94—The standard side bars for all 
sash. The long projecting angle leg of this section 
makes it particularly desirable for connection to 
various parts of building structures, and adds extra 
strength and stiffness to the sash. 


Section 101—Mullion section used as a con- 
nection between units of sash, and recommend- 
ed in special cases. It is impossible to secure any 
variation in the widths of the figured dimensions 
of the openings. See detail 18, page 1-39. 


Section 108—Mullion Section—A heavier mul- 
lion section of exactly the same type as the 101 
section. Recommendations applied to the 101 
section also apply to this section. 


Section 109—A special T-section for mullion pur- 
poses. This section used in conjunction with 
94 section at the jambs of units makes the most 
servicable mullion construction that can be used. 
This mullion allows of adjustments, so that any 
small variation in masonry or steel openings can be 
satisfactorily taken care of. It is our standard con- 
struction and is urgently recommended for use in 
openings that do not exceed a height of 9’ 0’. For 
openings between 9’ 0” and 12’ 6” high we recom- 
mend mullion section No. 309 which has the same 
dimensions as 109 section but is of heavier con- 
struction. See sections on page 1-14 and details, 
page 1-39.

Like all buildings controlled by the navy department, 
they are models of their kind, the material for their 
construction being selected by careful architects and 
and engineers strictly upon its merits. 

The use of FENESTRA window walls in these modern 
naval buildings shows the favor with which our sash 
is regarded by the government.

Standard Fenestra Ventilators 


HE unusually sturdy construc- 

tion of our standard ventila- 
tors, and the simplicity of their 
design are factors which merit the 
special attention of Architects and 
Engineers. 


In designing steel members that 
form a contact, Engineers consider 
straight edges and flat surfaces as 
the most effective method of posi- 
tive weathering. FENESTRA 
ventilators are built in strict ac- 
cordance with this well recognized 
principle. 


A patented channel section is 
used in connection with a regular 
standard FENESTRA section in such 
a way that, as the ventilator closes, 
two flat surfaces on one section 
come into actual and positive con- 
tact with two flat surfaces on the 
other. This gives an absolute 
and positive Double Weather- 
ing. This channel section stiffens 
the ventilator, keeps it rigid, and

ADJUSTMENT 


Sectional View of the External Adjustable Butt 


Butts 


The most important feature in the construction of 
steel sash is the manner in which the ventilated sec- 
tions are hung to the sash proper. FENESTRA sash 
has an exclusive feature in our external, removable, 
adjustable butt, rivetted securely to both vent and 
sash bars, and presenting a very neat mechanical 
appearance. The butt itself is made of solid rolled 
steel sections, one member having a slotted hole which 
allows an easy adjustment. The mere loosening of a 
34-inch nut, allows the shouldered hinge-pin to slide 
in the slotted member. A minute’s work, with only 
a common wrench, secures perfect alignment of the 
ventilator without removing it from the sash. 


Fenestra Cam Latch and Stay,\Ventilator Open to 
the Fourth Position 


The vent can be entirely removed by continuing 
the above operation and entirely unscrewing the nut 
from the pin. After removing the pin, the vent is 
easily lifted from its position. It can be replaced and 
adjusted just as easily. No skilled labor is required, 
and the whole operation can be done perfectly by any 
inexperienced person. 


The sectional drawing shown above gives a view 
through the ventilator bar, which is shown at an angle 
to the vertical sash-bar. The ventilator is hung by a 
pin which passes through the circular hole in the ven- 
tilator butt and also through the slot in the sash butt.

Ventilator Hanging 


Ventilators may be hung in a number of different ways to meet 
the conditions required in the building. a 
Our standard ventilators are horizontally pivoted 2 inches above 
the center. This allows the ventilator to close by gravity and lock 
automatically with our FENESTRA cam latch. nee 

Ventilators may be pivoted 4 inches from the top to swing out or 
l-inch from the bottom to swing in. These two methods of hanging 
are used principally to meet special requirements of the building, 
such as screening, interference with machinery, pipes, crane-ways, etc. 

Ventilators may be vertically pivoted so that they can be opened 
to an arc of 180 degrees. Ventilators pivoted in this way are equipped 
with an automatic locking device and a semi-circular stay so notched 
that they may be held open in a locked position at any angle desired. 
See details on page 1-20. 

Ventilators pivoted at side to swing out are standard hangings for 
fire escape exits. They are equipped with stay bar and automatic cam 
latch for locking. They should not be over two panes in width. 

Bottom pivoted ventilators are equipped with side arms for 
holding the vent open at a certain point, and are closed by means of 
a chain and spring catch. This method of hanging is used only

Vertically Pivoted Ventilators 


Vertically pivoted ventilators with semi-circular 
stay have a distinct advantage in that they can be 
set to catch the breeze from practically any direction. 

Vertically pivoted ventilators are not recommended 
over three panes wide with 14-inch glass on account 
of the projection of the ventilator into the room. 

A cam latch similar to that used in horizontally 
pivoted sash operates at the side of the ventilator, 
locking it shut when closed. 

Double locking device is recommended on all venti- 
lators over 46” high. Double locking device on both 
vertical edges can be furnished if specified.

Ventilator Sizes 


ie selecting horizontally pivoted ventilators for 
FENESTRA standard units, the accompanying table 
must be closely followed. Conditions of operation 
and manufacture make it imperative that some limit 
be placed upon the size of ventilators and our 
recommendations based upon years of experience are 
embodied in this table. 


A brief consideration of the subject will show that 
it is possible to attach a much larger and heavier 
ventilator to a jamb member or outside bar of the 
sash, than can be attached to the interior bars or 
body of the sash, since the outside bar is always 
supported, either by mullions connecting two units 
or by the building structure itself. No such support 
being available for the interior bars, it is necessary 
to limit the size of ventilators designed for attach- 
ment to other than the jamb bars of the sash. 


In the table, the left hand column gives the size 
of the vents as two lights wide and two high, two 
wide and three high, etc. The horizontal line at 
the top designates the size of the lights. In the body 
of the table the notations “B” “BB” and “‘J”’ occur. 
“B”’ indicates that the vent can be attached any place 
in the body of the sash; ““BB”’ that if the vent is 
attached to the interior of the sash unit then the unit 


itself must not be over 5 lights high; “‘J”’ indicates 
that the vent should be attached to the jamb bars 
only. Thus, selecting a vent four lights wide and 
two lights high, the table shows that for all glass sizes 
up to and including the “Z’’=14’ x 20” size, the 
ventilator can be attached to the interior bars with- 
out restriction. In the ZB’ =15” x 21” ‘size, the 
unit is restricted to 5 lights high, providing the 
vent is attached to the interior bars. This restriction 
may be removed and the unit may be made higher, 
providing it is made four lights wide, thus allowing the 
four lights wide vent to be attached to the jambs. 
For all glass above “ZB’’=15” x 21” the notation “J” 
occurs, indicating that a four wide by two high 
Velliaiie thems: = 10 axa 22 ems Peele 23 4 sand 
“OQ” — 18’ x 24” glass sizes will not be furnished unless 
attached to the jambs of the unit. 

Some of the ventilators are not recommended in 
the larger glass sizes. No ventilator four lights high 
will be made for glass above the “YB”=13” x 19” 
size and the three light high vents are restricted to the 
LB =157x 21” glass. size. 

For a discussion of the relation between the 
size of ventilators and actual practical ventila- 
tion to be secured, see page 1-22.

Effective Vent Opening 


Diagram No. 1 
Using a 32” Stay 


T is, at first glance, to be supposed that the venti- 
lation secured by means of the movable sections in 
the sash units will be in direct proportion to the 

area of such movable sections or ventilators. Such 
would actually be the case provided it were possible 
to always open the ventilators a full 90 degrees. 

In the practical application and use of steel sash 
there is a well defined limit to the length of the 
push bar or stay rod which opens the ventilator. This 
bar must be of such length that it can be easily dis- 
posed of when the ventilator is closed. It must be 
short enough so that with the vent partly open, as in 
cold weather, the unused portion of the bar will not 
project far enough into the room to be a nuisance to 
employes, or to limit the use of the floor space im- 
mediately in front of the window opening. These 
considerations limit the practical length of the long- 
est stay used to 32 inches. 


In the line diagrams above are shown openings secur- 
ed with different length stays. Diagram No. 1 shows 


Diagram No. 2 

Using a 28” Stay 
the opening of a three-pane-high Z ventilator. This 
ventilator is three 20” panes or approximately 60 inches 
high. The effective openings secured with the 24”, 
28” and 32” stays are respectively 101% inches, 141% 
inches and 181% inches. 


Diagram No. 2 shows the opening secured using the 
same stays but reducing the height of the ventilator 
by one pane, making its height two Z panes or 40 inches. 
Note that the openings for 24-inch and 28-inch stays 
are 15 inches and 201% inches while the long 32-inch 
stay is not used in this case as it would open the vent 
more than 90 degrees, thereby reducing the effective 
ventilation. 


The above clearly illustrates the fact, that, given 
two ventilators of the same width, one being 40 inches 
or two panes high, the other 60 inches or three panes 
high, the smaller vent under practical conditions gives 
an effective ventilating opening of 201% inches, while 
the large vent, containing 144 more area, only opens to 
an effective height of 181% inches. 


It is our recommendation that all ventilators in the 
16’, 17” and 18” glass heights be limitedto three panes 
high and that all ventilators in the larger sizes that 
is, in the 197) 20721) 22" -23-and 24 iheights;abe 
limited to two panes high. Following the above 
recommendation no ventilator should be more than 
54 inches in height.

Standard Types of Fenestra Sash 


HE different units of FENESTRA Sash are manu- 
factured in a wide range of width and height. 
These units, combined with our various types of 
mullions, will give an opening of any desired size. 
Standard units should be designed three, four, 
five or six panes wide. These units are furnished in 
any desired number of lights high up to about 
12 feet. 
Limits of Sash Sizes 


IF ENESTRA Sash are manufactured in units wider than 
six lights with the following restrictions: Units from 
seven to nine lights wide must not exceed 7 feet 834 
inches in height (five lights 18-inch glass). Units 
which exceed 6 feet in width (five lights 12-inch 
glass) should not be manufactured in heights of over 
12 feet. In large glass sizes, smaller units should 
be used, and the size of ventilation should be restricted 
to our standard practice. See tables on page 1-21 
for ventilator sizes and limitations. 

In determining the possible size of units, considera- 
tion should always be given to the width and height 
of glass panes to be used, and to the size and position 
of the ventilators. In the following pages, you will 
find listed in detail a number of standard sizes of 
sash with different arrangements of ventilation, all 
of which are perfectly safe in their application. 


Important 


We earnestly urge architects and engineers to adopt 
a uniform glass size in designing their window open- 
ings, permitting the use of our standard types. The 
adoption of standards means quick delivery, low 
cost and will effect a saving in maintenance charges 
after the building is completed. A uniform size of 
glass in the window opening will add materially to 
the general appearance of the building, and will 
facilitate the manufacture and installation of the sash. 

FENESTRA Sash are made in the following glass 
widths and heights: Widths—10”, 11,’’ 12’, 13”,

Stock Sash 


The Detroit Steel Products Company has adopted 
a plan of standardization, which involves the carry- 
ing of a large stock of bars all machined and, in ad- 
dition to this, a large quantity of stock sash already 
assembled, in the following glass sizes: X, 10 x 16; 
VOD elo 7a Axe 2 () 

These sash are all manufactured with our angle 
section 94 on all four sides. With this extra heavy 
section combined with our standard “‘T” bar mul- 


lion, adjustment can be made in each opening which 
will take up any variance in concrete, steel work, 
brick, etc. We urge the adoption of these stock sizes 
wherever possible by engineers and architects in prefer- 
ence to the odd sized widths and heights. A complete 
list of stock sash will be furnished upon request by 
our nearest branch office or agent. 


Ventilators 


Ventilators should not exceed 5 feet (five lights 
12-inch glass) in width, or 4 feet 5 inches (three 
lights 18-inch glass) in height, nor contain an area 
exceeding 3200 square inches. We urge the adop- 
tion of ventilators two panes high as standard. By 
referring to page 122, you will note that the use of 
two-pane-high ventilators allows of a freer access of 
air, giving far better ventilation than the three or 
four-pane-high vents. Two-pane-high vents, equipped 
with our deep angle sections at sill and hung on ad- 
justable butts, give rigid form of construction and 
efficient ventilation. 

We advise the adoption of ventilators the full 
width of sash except in units coming directly against 
concrete or brick piers. Here we advise the use 
of a fixed pane between the ventilator and pier. 

For limitations in the ventilator design, see table 
on page 1-21. 

Lights coming to the edge of FENESTRA ventilators, 
must be somewhat smaller than the other panes in the 
sash. Ventilator lights which abut on the top or 
sides must be trimmed one inch along the abut- 
ting edge. Ventilator lights which abut on the 
sill must be trimmed 7%-inch on abutting edge. 


Code of Numbering System 

Each pane size is indicated by a letter which, 
together with the numerals following, give a complete 
description of the sash. 

Example—Y-44141. Letter ““Y”’ stands for size 
of glass in this case (12’’ x 18’); first figure ‘‘4’”’ means 
number of panes wide; second figure, ‘‘4’’, number 
of panes high; third figure, ‘1’’, number of ventila- 
tors; fourth figure, ‘‘4’’, number of panes in ventila- 
tor; fifth figure, ‘‘1’’, number of panes between the 
sill and ventilator. In this case Y—44141 would 
indicate a sash accomodating 12” x 18” glass; 
four panes wide; four panes high, with one 4-pane 
ventilator located one pane from the sill. For photo- 
graph of this unit, see page 1-16.

Measuring Point to Which All Tables Refer 


HE points to which the overall dimensions of 
FENESTRA Units are taken are clearly shown 
above. The standard outside bar for all units is the 
section numbered 94. Note that the sash dimension 
of the unit is taken to a theoretical point 3¢-inch he- 
yond the body of the frame. By assuming this point 
as the sash dimension, we have made the dimension 
of the frame correspond to the clear masonry 
opening that will be required to properly install 
the frame in the building. This allows %%-inch on 
each side of sash for clearance to assure of free opera- 
tion of ventilators. A reference to details No. 1 to 
No. 12 shown on pages 1-36 and 1-37 will clearly show 
the relation between the sash dimemsion and the clear 
opening required. 
In dimensioning those units having other than the 
94 section bar as the outside member of the sash, 
we have kept to the same theoretical point. 


A reference to the table of widths on page 19 will 
show that a three-pane wide sash in 12-inch glass 
is given as 3 feet 2 inches. This dimension is in all 
cases given to the lines marked “‘sash dimension” above. 

For section 91 this 3 feet 2 inch dimension is too 
wide by 3%” on each jamb or a total 3;”. 

For section 92 it is exact. 


For section 93 it is exact. 


For section 94 it is 54 inch on each jamb, or 14% 


inches short. As explained above and shown on 
detail-pages 1-36 and 1-37, this extra 5% inch on each 
jamb is allowed for making connections to the building 
structure, and all tables throughout this catalog, 
whether given for dimension of single units or the 
dimension of combined units, show the clear opening 
required for the installation of FENESTRA, using the 
94 section bar as the member joining the building 
structure. 

In case it seems desirable to use some other section 
as the outside member. which will of necessity be 
joined to the building structure, proper allowance 
from that shown in the tables must be made in the 
clear opening, in order that the section selected may 
be properly joined to the building proper. 

Your attention is called to a further discussion of 
the 94 section and its merits on page 1-13 and its 
practical application on all detail-pages 1-38 to 1-41 
inclusive.

Overall Heights 
and Widths 


HE tables below give the widths and heights of 
single FENESTRA sash units. 


Special care must be taken in the selection of the 
sizes of units to be used. To guide the engineers, 
in determining their limit, we have shown a heavy 
line through each table. Sizes shown above these 
lines are those recommended. We recommend that no 
individual unit should exceed seventy square feet, in 
units containing approximately 66 percent ventilation. 
Larger area can be allowed if ventilation is decreased. 
For 33 percent ventilation, sash units can be built 
safely with an area of 85 square feet. If fixed light 
sash is used, a single unit can be built safely contain- 
ing one hundred square feet. These limits are 
approximate only. 


The values given above are for glass 14 x 20 inches. 


Overall Heights and Widths of Fenestra Units 


inch glass, but should be decreased fifteen percent 
for 18 x 24-inch glass. 

The first column shows (in the first table) the 
number of lights high, and (in the second table) 
the number of lights wide per unit, for each unit 
of sash. The figures opposite the letters in the first 
horizontal line indicate the exact heights or widths 
of the glass in the various units. Below the glass 
dimensions, and opposite the figures corresponding 
to the number of lights high or wide, will be found 
overall dimensions of the sash unit taken from ourdi- 
mension point. Heights and widths of lights shown 
are actual glass sizes. Glass in outside panes of 
ventilators must be trimmed one inch at the top 
and side, and 7-inch at the sill. The adoption of 
our 10 x 16-inch, 12 x 18-inch 14 x 20-inch and 16 x 
22-inch sizes, will mean quick delivery, low cost, and 


This can be increased fifteen percent for 10 x 16- 


low up-keep. 


We earnestly urge their specification.

WIDTH OF OPENING 8' 62" 


HE following table shows overall 

widths of combined units with T Bar 
Mullions, No. 109 or No. 309. No. 109 
section is used for openings up to 9 feet in 
height only; No. 309 section is of heavier 
construction and is used for openings from 
9 feet to 12 feet 6 inches. For openings 
greater than 12 feet 6 inches a special 
design must be used. 


Thirty percent added strength is secured with this 
T Bar mullion if the leg is placed outstanding as shown 
in Figure 2. 


The table below will be found of great assistance in 
designing window openings of such width that stand- 
ard units can be used, thereby eliminating the extra 
cost of special units. 


For example, take an opening 17 feet or 18 feet 
wide. The designer knows the approximate width of 
the glass lights he wishes to use—suppose the width is 
12 inches. Directly under Y-12 in the table will 
be found constantly increasing dimensions, running 
down this Y-12 column until the approximate 
overall width of the opening is reached and the figure 
17 feet, 314 inches is encountered. The two extreme 
left-hand columns are headed “Lights Wide’’ and 


“Units Wide” respectively. In these two 
left-hand columns and opposite the selected 
dimension, 17 feet 3% inches, will be found 
the figures 16 and 4. This shows that 4 
units of a combined width of 16 lights of 
Y or 12-inch wide glass, will require a clear 
masonry opening of 17 feet 31% inches. 


It is immaterial what the width of each 
individual unit may be. Thus, a combi- 
nation of four units four lights wide each, or four units 
of which two are three lights and two five lights wide, 
would give the same opening. The essential feature is 
the total number of lights and units wide leaving the 
actual position of the mullions or connections be- 
tween units,—sketch of which is shown at head of 
this table,—to the discretion of the designer. 


In using these tables, care must be taken that the area 
of any individual unit is confined to the following schedule: 

Under 70 square feet, for units containing 66% 
ventilation. 

Under 85 square feet, for units containing 33% 
ventilation. 

Under 100 square feet, for units containing noventilation. 

These values are for 14’’ x 20” glass size. 

They may be increased 15% for 10’’ x 16’’. 

They must be decreased 15% for 18’’x 24’’.

Explanation of Construction Details 


Page 1-35 shows especially pero pmended construction details, including those shown in Bold Faced type below, together 


with an additional detail—No. 2 


Detail No. 23.—(109 or 309 Section Mullions). This standard mullion detail is used in tables of widths on pages 1-29 to 
1-31, inclusive. 109 Section is recommended only for openings that do not exceed a height of 9 feet. For openings between 
9 feet and 12 feet 6 inches specify Section 309 which is of the same dimensions as 109 but of heavier construction The sections, 
are the same as used in detail No. 16, but No. 23, is much to be preferred, as the position of the Tee bar is reversed so that the 
leg is outstanding. This gives 30% additional strength to the mullion, makes it easy of erection, and allows sufficient expan- 


sion to take up variations in construction work. See page 1-35. 


Page 1-36 shows head and jamb connections. 


Detail No. 1—Head construction, steel lintel with 
24-inch x 21-inch angle for attachment of sash. 
This construction allows a reasonable deflection of 
the lintel as well as some variation in the setting of 
the sash. This detail is recommended for all cases 
where steel lintels are used. This construction is also 
suitable for jamb connections. See page 1-35. 


Detail No. 2—Same as No. 1, except that the hook- 
bolt cannot be used in case the ventilator comes to 
the edge of the sash. This is both a head and jamb 
detail. 


Detail No. 3—Head and jamb construction for con- 
crete. Note the 3@-inch clearance required for the 
ventilator. Rebate in concrete should be cast 11%- 
inch deep by 11-inch wide to allow for installation of 
sash. Especially recommended for head and jamb 
connection of all concrete work. See page 1-35. 


Detail No. 4—A suggestion for short span lintels at 
the head of brick openings. The double angles make 
a guide for sash and when filled with grouting and 
pointed as shown gives a very effective weathering and 
a satisfactory job. Care must be taken to properly 
line the sash and 3-inch clearance must be allowed 
for ventilator. 


Detail No. 5—This shows a jamb connection for 
brick openings. This jamb detail, together with detail 
No. 1 for the head, and detail No. 9 for the sill, makes 
it possible to so prepare brick openings that units do 
not have to be installed until it becomes necessary to 
enclose the building. The jambs must be well 
pointed up between the sash section and brick work. 
It is also recommended to grout the sash in place. 


Detail No. 6—This detail is strongly recommended 
for jambs of brick openings. This detail is used when 
sash are built into the building with brick work. Care 
must be taken to allow the full 3<-inch clearance for 
the ventilator. See page 1-35. 


Page 1-37 shows jamb and sill connections. 


Detail No. 7—A special jamb and head construc- 
tion for concrete. Plates are anchored into the con- 
crete when formed and sash set later. This is used 
when extra stiffness is required or when a wide line is 
desired for architectural appearance. The jambs 
should be well painted after erection. 


Detail No. 8—Typical sill construction for steel 
buildings. No bolting through collateral steel work 
is required with this detail. Sash is held secure by 
means of clip at sill of sash. 


Detail No. 9—Typical construction, recommended 
for stone, concrete or brick sills. Rebate at least 


%-inch should be allowed to take up any variation of 
masonry work. See page 1-35. 


Detail No. 10—Suggestion for steel sill or jamb. 
This detail is recommended for steel construction. It 
allows a reasonable deflection of steel work as well 
as variation in the setting of same. 


Detail No. 11—Terra cotta sill. Rebate at least 
34-inch should be allowed to take up variation in 
masonry work. 


Detail No. 12—Suggestion for steel sill. The sash 
is secured by means of a strip bolted to sill of sash and 
bent over structural steel after erection. This detail 
requires no rivet holes or punching of structural steel 


members. 


Page 1-39 shows various forms of vertical mul- 
lions. 


Detail No. 13—This mullion detail is used in com- 
piling table of widths on pages 132 to 134. Note 
that there is no expansion when this mullion is used. 
Concrete, brick or steel must be exact. 


Detail No. 14—This mullion detail is used only in 
cases where extreme heights of sash are to be installed 
demanding extra stiffness for mullion constructions. 


Detail No. 15—This mullion detail allows no expan- 
sion and must be carefully handled in erection. It is 
used to give a finished architectural appearance for 
inside of building. This mullion cannot be used when 
vents come to the jambs of the sash. 


Detail No. 16—This standard mullion detail is used 
in tables of widths on pages 129 to 131. This detail 
is especially recommended on account of ease of erec- 
tion and expansion allowable to take up variation in 
construction work. This detail covers either 109 or 
309 Section. 109 Section mullion is recom- 
mended only for openings that do not exceed a 
height of 9 feet. For openings between 9 feet 
and 12 feet 6 inches, we recommend Section 309 
which is of the same dimensions as 109 Section 
but of heavier construction. See page 1-35. 


Detail Nos. 17 and 18—Expandable mullions allow- 
ing for slight adjustments. Various size plates and 
channelscan be used. No. 17 to be used in cases when 
sash are over 5 feet in height. 


Page 1-40 shows typical horizontal mullions. 

Detail Nos. 19 and 20 together with No. 13 show 
horizontal mullion construction furnished for open- 
ing up to 8’ wide only. Detail Nos. 21 and 22 are 
suggestions for built-up horizontal mullions for wide 
openings, and are not furnished by the D.S. P. Co., 
except under special contract.

Standard Camber and 
Circular Heads 


TANDARD camber and semi-circular heads are fre- 
quently combined with FENEsTRA Solid Steel 
Windows, adding materially to the beauty and 
attractiveness of buildings so equipped. They serve 
to enhance and accentuate the architectural curves 
of a building, and give it character and individuality. 


Standard camber heads, four, five and six lights 
wide and one light high are carried in stock in 10” x 
16’, 12’ x 18” and 14” x 20” glass sizes. Other sizes 
can be made to meet special requirements. 


The radius of the camber is equal to the width of 
the sash. These camber sash are made in separate 
units one pane high using No. 96 section at sill and 
are set directly on top of standard square head sash 
and bolted securely together with mullion bolts as 
shown by detail No. 19, page 1-40. 


Tracy, Swarthout & Litchfield, Architcets 


Standard Camber and Semi-circular Heads 


When set into brick walls, detail No. 5, page 1-36, 
will be found very satisfactory. If in concrete, use 
detail No .3, page 1-35, or detail No.7, page 1-37,with 
bent plate. 

We recommend the use of cambers, combined with 
standard sash, wherever possible, in order to secure the 
advantages in price and prompt delivery which they af- 
ford. See pages 1-23 to 1-26inclusive for standard sizes. 


Standard Semi-circular Heads 


These windows are made in separate units to be 
used over standard sash which are five or ten lights 
wide. They will cover one or two units of sash in 
either 10-inch, 12-inch or 14-inch width of glass. 
Where a semi-circular head is desired to cover two 
sash, space is allowed to include mullions ,-inch 
thick. The sizes illustrated are carried in stock. 

Camber or semi-circular heads are particularly 
desirable for use in power houses where the prevailing 
architectural design seems to include curved openings. 


In such cases it is customary to fill these openings 
as shown in the photograph of the Lozier Motor Car 
Company’s Power House, using large sections of 
FENESTRA standard sash, sur- 
mounted by standard camber 
heads of semi-circular heads. 

Details of camber and semi-cir- 
cular heads are shown on the blue 
print sheet on the following page.

OWHERE are the ad- 
vantages of FENESTRA 
more apparent than in build- 
ings where steel and wood 
sash installations appear side 
by side. 


The wide mullions, the 
heavy sash bars, and the 
general clumsy appearance of 
wood sash are especially 
noticeable when seen near the 
thin gracefulbarsof FENESTRA.

Fenestra sash successfully withstand the 
severe conditions of vibration and rough 
usage existing in all railroad buildings. We 
have installed FENESTRA in hundreds of 
railroad shops, power houses and round 
houses. The pictures on this page show 
a few typical installations. Other railroad 
buildings are shown in the section devoted 
exclusively to FENESTRA installations.

The larger picture is taken from an architect’s drawing and shows The Delaware & Lackawanna Coal Breaker, a structure of glass and 

steel on a concrete base, designed by Engineer Bradford Sampson. The small photograph shows the Fenestrated coal breaker of the 

Lehigh Valley Railroad at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., designed by Engineer Paul Sterling, The question of Fenestra for railroad structures is 

discussed more extensively in our booklet, ‘‘Daylight and Ventilation for Round Houses, Train Sheds, Power Stations, Machine Shops 

Freight Stations and Car Barns.” All coal breakers are subject to constant vibration, high wind pressures and exceptionally rough 
usage. Fenestra sash will withstand these conditions. Special designs for this type furnished on application.

Beaver Power Building No. 1, Dayton, Ohio, Before the Disaster 


Ss 


The upper picture shows the Beaver Power Building No. 1, Dayton, Ohio, as it looked before the 
fire and flood of 1913. The lower picture shows the same building after the fire, with the smoulder- 
ing ruins of other buildings around it. The Beaver Power Building checked the spread of the fire 
and saved 300 people who sought safety within its fireproof walls. FENESTRA helped save Dayton

all parts are designed especially for the one use, 
reduces to a minimum the field or erection expense; 


thus often saving more than the original cost of the 
operator. 


The accompanying cut shows the main features of 
the operator, and the simplicity with which it may 
be installed. Both the vertical and horizontal pipe 
are of one size, being 1,-inch outside diameter. All 
attachments are made with bolts and no rivetting or 
drilling is necessary. The power is cast, accurately 
fitted, and an in and out adjustment is provided 
that takes up any ordinary irregularities that may be 
encountered in the wall surfaces. 


In using this device, it is not intended that any 
ventilator be distant over 20 feet from the power. 
If the power is at one end of the run, the horizontal 
pipe should not exceed 20 feet in length, while with 
the power in the center of the run, the horizontal 
pipe may extend 20 feet each side or a total of 40 
feet. The cut shows only one horizontal run attached 
to the vertical power pipe: but it is evident that two 
or more horizontal runs can be attached to this same 
vertical pipe; thus operating two or more tiers of 
ventilators in unison. 


The cost of the power is so little and the advantages 
of being able to open separate bays where and when 
wanted is so great, that we recommend individual 
operators for each bay. 


In furnishing this operator, we include all necessary

location in the building. 


This operator is furnished only under special con- 


AN inspection of the different types of worm and 
tract in connection with FENEsTRA Sash. 


gear operator as manufactured by the numerous 
concerns making such devices, will disclose the fact 
that they are all designed for attachment to wooden 
sash. Such devices are necessarily built to with- 
stand the special conditions of wood sash construction. 
No attempt is made to grade the operators, and the 
customer with a small sash, and consequently an easy 
operating problem, is called upon to make as great an 
outlay as the one purchasing an operator for the 
largest type of sash. In addition to this burden, it is 
necessary when operating steel sash to attach to steel 
a device primarily intended for attachment to wood. 
This latter operation, namely, thesection of the opera- 
tor, seldom costs less and often costs several times as 
much as the device itself. 


In view of the above facts, we are adding one more 
item to the FENESTRA line and are offering an operator 
designed and furnished only for the operation of 
FENESTRA standard pivoted ventilators. 


Since the FENESTRA Worm and Gear Operator is 
designed and sold for one purpose only, we are enabled 
to standardize all parts, reduce the same to a mini- 
mum weight and provide all holes necessary for attach- 
ment to the FENESTRA unit.

Important Points 
to Know

Important Points to Know 


1. Several styles of mullions are carried in stock to take care 
of different types and sizes of openings. Great care should be 
exercised in choosing the correct size and type of mullion to 
satisfactorily fill the specified requirements, for the success or 
failure of the opening depends almost entirely upon the mullion 
construction. 


2. Tee Bar Mullions, sections 109, 110 and 310 as shown on 
pages 1-14, 1-39, should be used wherever possible, inasmuch 
as they allow a certain amount of variation which is necessary 
in most types of building construction. 


3. No. 101 section (3-inch x 35-inch) and 108 section (4-inch 
by 44 inch) mullions can satisfactorily be used where the varia- 
tion of the opening is slight. These mullions are cut flush at 
head and 2 inches long at sill in order to enter into the masonry 
at the sill. They are punched with slotted holes to take care of 
vertical variation. Other types of mullions are cut to meet con- 
ditions specified. 


4. The above types of mullions can be used horizontally, as 
well as vertically. For extremely large openings we recommend 
that a horizontal channel or a ‘‘Z’’ bar be used. 


5. Horizontal mullions run continuous from jamb to jamb 
and are extended into the masonry about 6 inches at each end 
unless the width of the opening is greater than the height. In 
which case the vertical mullions are made continuous. 


6. We recommend No. 109 section T bar mullion for open- 
ings that do not exceed a height of 9 feet. For openings between 
9 feet and 12 feet 6 inches, specify section No. 309 which is of the 
same dimensions as No. 109 section mullion but of heavier con- 
struction. 


7. Any T bar mullion can be placed in the opening with leg 
extending either inside or outside. We recommend, however, 
that mullions be installed so that leg extends toward the outside 
of the building as 30% added strength can be secured by this 
type of installation. 


8. 4 inch by 114 inch bolts with counter-sunk head and 
nuts, termed mullion bolts and nuts, are used with 3 inch by 
ze inch and 4 inch by 4 inch mullions. 


9. Angle lugs for brick construction are used only when 92 
section is jamb member of sash. They are located at the center 
of each vertical pane except the top and bottom pane where they 
come 4 inches from the edge of the sash. Lugs are shipped loose 
with 4 inch x 34 inch stove bolts and nuts for attaching same to 
sash. 


10. ‘‘Z”’ lugs for concrete construction are attached the same 
as the above and are also shipped loose with necessary bolts for 
attaching same to sash. 


11. For steel construction we recommend, wherever possible, 
the use of 101 flat clip or hook bolt with 94 section. See pages 
1-35 and 1-36.) 


12. When ventilator extends to outside jambs or head of 
sash hook, bolts can not be used. 


13. In all cases 34 inch clearance must be left at jamb and 
head of sash to permit the proper installation of sash. (See 
pages 1-27, 1-36 and 1-37.) 


14. Do not count on matching holes for fixing bolts in sash 
with field holes in steel work. The variation in structural steel 
in building in general will always throw these holes out of line. 


15. Do not count on tapping structural steel on the job for 
fixing bolts. This operation is very expensive. 


16. Never figure to fit a sash into an opening surrounded with 
steel without leaving plenty of clearance around sash. 


17. For continuous top hung T. and L. sash and for venti- 
lated monitor sash, a mechanical operator of approved design 
should be used. We will supply details and estimate upon request 
covering mechanical operator to fill any specified condition. 


18. For ventilated sidewall sash where mechanical operator 
is required, we recommend Detroit Steel Products Company’s 


Worm and Gear Operator. Prices and details will be given upon 
request. 


19. Mechanical operator supports must be spaced not less 
than 6 feet on centers. 


20. We recommend in all cases that top hung T. and L. 
sash be limited to not over 4 feet in height. The maximum 
amount of ventilation can be secured with a 3 foot high sash. 
(See page 2-9.) 


21. Two pane high ventilators are recommended in all cases 
as they give the maximum amount of ventilation. 


22. Ventilated FENEsTRA sash should be installed so that 
bottom of ventilator swings out and top swings in. 


23. All hardware for sash and ventilators is shipped sepa- 
rately and must be attached in field by the contractor who erects 
the sash. 


24. Any kind of glass can be used in Fenestra sash. Always 
specify kind of glass required. 


25. Glazing clips and putty are used for securing glass in 
sash. Glass is always back puttied. 


26. Do not have putty shipped too far in advance of glazing. 
When putty is allowed to stand around on job it is liable to 
become hard. 


27. When requesting glass sizes where more than one kind of 
glass is used, specify location of each kind. 


28. Any change in sash after order has been entered or 
shipped will necessarily change glass sizes. 


29. 4 inch ribbed or 14 inch wire ribbed glass is recom- 
mended for use in T. and L. Monitor sash. 


30. Single strength sheet glass should never be used in sash 
where glass lights exceed 10 inches x 16 inches in size. 


31. Sash are glazed from the inside of the building unless 
otherwise specified. 


_ 32. Glass coming to edge of ventilator must be trimmed 
1 inch at top and sides and % inch at sill. 


33. We do not recommend operating two ventilators in one 
unit of sash, using connecting bar and chain. Where connecting 
bar is required Stay operator should be used on lower ventilator. 


34. If difficulty is encountered in erecting sash, consult the 
Detroit Steel Products Company before making any changes. 


35. When doors and frames are furnished by the Detroit 
Steel Products Company they are shipped separately and must be 
assembled in the field. 


36. All door hardware is shipped separately and must be 
attached in field by the contractor erecting the doors. 


37. When calling for sash containing two ventilators, give 
location of each ventilator. 


38. Always specify type of operator required for ventilators. 


39. When chain operator is required give distance from floor 
to bottom of ventilator. 


40. Standard sash can often times be utilizied in openings 
not designed to take material of standard dimensions by intro- 
ducing expandable or T bar mullions. (See page 1-29.) 


41. Ventilators are attached to sash by means of an external 
adjustable butt. By loosing the nut on the butt the ventilator 
can be easily adjusted to operate properly. 


42. Erection diagrams are furnished when requested, but 
manufacture of sash is not held for approval of drawings unless 
advised. 


43. Door frames furnished by the Detroit Steel Products

ENESTRA steel sash of the 

Power House Type are designed 
to give a maximum amount of 
ventilation and are built primarily 
to give the extra strength and 
rigidity necessary for Power House 
construction, at the same time 
keeping the general appearance of 
a window which will harmonize 
with the massive architectural ap- 
pearance of a well-designed power 
house. 


These sash are made for openings 
of practically any dimension and 
are designed for square-head, semi- 
circular or camber-head sash to 
conform to the architectural fea- 
tures. Careful attention is paid to 
the proper division of the hori- 
zontal and vertical lines to insure 
a strong, substantial window of 
pleasing appearance. 


The mullions and frames are 
made of heavy structural steel mem- 
bers designed to receive the sash, 
making as rigid and as strong a 
construction as possible. The hori- 
zontal mullions are made of heavy 
structural steel T bars with plates 
attached for making sash connec- 
tions. Vertical mullions are of 
structural steel Ts or channels, 
and plates, varying in strength 
with the size of the opening. For 
details see plate page 5-6, also see 
mullion construction details, page 
5-6. 

All sash in the power house open- 
ings are of the ventilated type ex- 
cept those in the semi-circular or 
camber sections. The ventilators 
are operated by our special FENEs- 
TRA worm and gear device which 
controls the vents in batteries as 
may bedesired. Ventilated sections 
are all double weathered and are 
hung securely to the sash by our 
pressed steel adjustable butt. 


The construction used in the 
special FENESTRA Power House sash 
is far superior toany form of pressed 
steel framing which is subject to 
distortion in erection and to weak- 
ening caused by the constant jar 
of the building by heavy machinery. 
Where strength and rigidity are re- 
quired and where general archi- 
tectural appearance is needed, 
specify the FENESTRA Power House 
type of construction. Typical Fenestra Power House Window

which are equipped with FENEsTRA Solid Steel Windows 


After thoroughly investigating the merits of our 
form of construction as against the older type of 
wooden windows, Cotton and Textile Mill engineers 
have recommended the use of FENESTRA for the 
following reasons: 


There is no warping or shrinking, rotting or deter- 
iorating of FENESTRA Solid Steel Sash. In cotton 
mills, especially in the weave rooms, where high 
humidity is maintained, during the cold weather,

condensation forms on the glass and the windows 
become moist and ‘‘steamy.’’ This results in the 
warping and distorting of the wooden sash to such 
an extent that it is impossible to operate them to 
secure any ventilation. This constant condensation 
means that wooden sash are warped continually 
resulting in complete rotting and an early replacement. 


Owing to the positive double contact, which makes 
our windows weather-tight, there is practically no 
chance for the leaking of air, which would change the 
temperature below the dew-point, causing moisture to 
form on the machinery and on the cotton in the process

85000 square feet of FENESTRA were used by this concern.

of manufacture. This protection against moisture is a 
highly desirable feature in cotton mill construction 
where an even temperature must be maintained. 


Considering the initial investment, the permanency, 
general appearance, and desirability of substituting 
steel sash for wood, cotton mill and textile mill 


owners have realized its decided advantages, and are 
insisting upon its use in all modern plants. The added 
daylight, the ease with which the ventilation is con- 
trolled and the permanency of the construction itself 


Texas Unit Construction 
Co., Engineers, St. Louis 


are features which have recommended themselves to 
all mill owners and operators. 


Where windows made from solid rolled steel bars 
are used, warpage, leakage, shrinking, inflammability 
and decay are all eliminated. Perfect ventilation is se- 
cured without undue disturbance of atmospheric 
conditions. Fireproofness, permanence, ease of opera- 
tion, and increased daylighting make FENESTRA 
Solid Steel Sash a logical window material for tex- 
tile and cotton mill lighting.

Fenestra horizontally piv- 
oted solid steel windows in 
basement of Central High 
School, Minneapolis. 


HAT little country school- 
house that stood by the 
cross-roads was reckoned a 

“pretty good building’’ years ago. 
The farmers for miles around put 
their best efforts into its construc- 
tion. It had oak timbers and hewn 
shingles that time had seasoned 
into iron. 


And yet the little cross-roads 
schoolhouse would cut a sorry 
figure beside our modern halls of 
education because men have learned 
the science of better school build- 
ing. 


Most conspicuous among the 
characteristics which distinguish 
the modern school building from 
the pioneer structure are the win- 
dows. 


Three or four windows on either 
side of the building and a door at 
the end gave sufficient light and 
ventilation for all practical pur- 
poses, according to the belief of 
our forefathers, but the modern 
architect who designed a _ school 
with only eight windows would 
hardly be classed among the pro- 
gressive builders of the generation. 


Wide glass panes, broad bays of 
many openings now give light and 
ventilation that were before con- 
sidered unnecessary. 


In common with the movement 
for better factory conditions, light- 
er, airier work-rooms, has come a 
similar movement for better school 
buildings. 


Medical experiments have shown 
that adenoids, bronchial trouble and 
tuberculosis are frequently the 


No Fenestra in this little cross-roads school 


direct result of bad air in school 
rooms. Poor ventilation has been 
found to be the frequent cause of 
dullness; poor light is responsible 
for headaches and weak eyes; and 
then, periodically, there comes one 
of those awful calamities, a school 


building fire, with its attendant) 


horrors of panic, stampede and loss 
of life. 


Small wonder, therefore that the 
demand for better school building 
has been insistent, and that the 
progress along this line has been 
rapid. Nor is it surprising that out 
of this general crusade and largely 
because of it, there should be 
developed a building material, par- 
ticularly designed to answer the 
demand for schools that will pro- 
tect their inmates — pupils and 
teachers—from the dangers pre- 
viously encountered. 


Fenestra Solid Steel Windows 
have been developed step by step 
along the same route that school 
edvelopment itself has followed. 


Originating years ago in the 
demand for better working condi- 
tions in factories, Fenestra was 
immediately accepted by architects, 
engineers and contractors as a 
building adjunct that had long 
been needed for all types of utili- 
tarian construction. 


Fenestra gave to factory build- 
ings literal ‘“‘walls of daylight.”’ 


It secured for round-houses, steel 
mills, foundries and such buildings 
a ventilation and clarity of atmos- 
phere that were previously un- 
known. 


It provided perfect and absolute

The photographs on this page show a few of the many school buildings which are now equipped with Fenestra Solid Steel Win- 
dows. No. 1 is the Technical High School, Salt Lake City; Nos. 2 and 4 show the exterior and interior of the Urbana High School, 
Urbana, Ind.; No. 3 shows the Mechanical Institute at Rochester, N. Y.; and No. 5 an interior of School 41, Indianapolis, Ind. 


“I am very much pleased to say that your windows give the best of satisfaction, both in amount of light and fresh air furnished,” 
writes L. M. Gillilen, of the Salt Lake Technical High School (No. 1 in the above group.) ‘They are particularly pleasing in the 


method by which fresh air is supplied to the rooms. I shall be pleased to heartily recommend these windows to any who are ina posi- 
tion to make use of them.”

protection against bad weather. 

Its steel bars and wire glass 
afforded effectual protection 
against fire. 


It reduced maintenance cost and 
artificial light bills. 


It increased output and de- 
creased illnesses, accidents and 
mistakes. 


It promoted efficiency 


—and with all this it gave to the 
building so equipped a beauty and 
distinction impossible to secure 
through the employment of wooden 
windows. 


The Refining of Fenestra 
Solid Steel Windows 


Then came many refinements that 
served to confirm the growing opinion 
that the field for Fenestra was as large as 


the field of building itself. 


A specially designed window was con- 
structed for asylums, jails and houses of 
detention; another type was found particu- 
larly adapted to powerhouses; Detroit and 
Fenestra casements took their places in 
the Fenestra long line for use in store 
buildings, apartments, schools, hotels 
and offices generally; interior partitions 
and doors became part of the Fenestra 
product. 


One day Major Wm. Tumbridge, 
wanted to use Fenestra in his new fire- 
proof eight story Brooklyn hotel. 


“But we do not recommend our product 
for that type of construction,’’ expostu- 
lated the Fenestra representative, ‘‘ours 
is a utilitarian sash.”’ 


“No difference,’ said the major, “I 


specified Fenestra and I want Fenestra; 
I’ll assume all the responsibility.” 


Naturally he got what he called for, 
and he is still delighted with his purchase. 


Builders were quick to adopt the refined 
models of the one-time factory sash for 
use in even the most artistic and ornate 
buildings. 

And so along with the more varied 
adaptability which gave to this steel sash 
an ever broadening field, came the modern 
demand for Fenestra in school buildings. 


Fenestra Gives Protection in 
Many Ways 


Fenestra school windows are popular 
chiefly because they protect pupils and 
teachers from the very things that have 
been found injurious to their health and 
development. For instance: Fenestra

windows flood a school room with clear 
daylight from 8:00 A. M. until school lets 
out. No puckering of brows to see dim 
figures on the blackboard; no eye strain. 
None of the gloominess and depression and 
consequent lack of interest that charac- 
terizes a poorly lighted school room. 


Fenestra provides the most perfect 
ventilation it is possible to give. No close, 
stuffy rooms full of bad air which promotes

dullness and disease. On the contrary, 
Fenestrated schools have that distinct air 
of alertness which pervades bright sun- 
shiny and well ventilated work rooms.

Both single and combined units of Fenestra are used 


in the University High School, Madison, Wis. 


The school disaster in which 400 chil- 
dren lost their lives will not soon be for- 
gotten by the people of Collingwood, 
Ohio and this calamity will stand forever 
as an eloquent argument for Fenestra 
Solid Steel school windows with their dur- 
able construction and absolute fire protec- 
tion. Fenestra windows in the Beaver 
Power Building in Dayton at the time of 
the flood and fire there, saved numberless 
lives and helped effectually to block the 
conflagration. 


Then there is the protection that Fen- 
estra gives against storms—you know how 
drafty some school rooms are—how the 
teachers have to move the children out of 
the seats near the windows in blizzardy 
weather because the sash leak air. No 
trouble of this kind with Fenestra Solid 
Steel school windows—they are as wind 
and weather proof as are walls of brick or 
stone. Ventilators close with a flat, con- 
tinuous, double contact which makes them 
proof against drifting snow or driving of 
rain. 


Why Not Have ‘Built-In”’ 
Health and Cheerfulness 


It is just as easy to build daylight and 
fresh air, weather and fire protection into a 
school as it is to build darkness, dreariness, 
illness and danger. A small change in the 
wording of the specifications means much 
to those who spend the better part of their 
daylight hours in the building. 

Why not get full value for the money 
you invest in windows, especially when 
improved Fenestra costs no more than 
unimproved wood sash. 

At the same price, why not have win- 
dows that are recognized as the best, both 
from the standpoint of beauty and utility?

Four Types of Fenestra School Windows 


The standard Fenestra unit with hori- 
zontally pivoted ventilator operated by a 
stay and cam latch has been used by some 
of the leading builders in designing fine 
school buildings all over the country. This 


Fenestra Vertically Sliding Unit 


window gives maximum light, perfect ven- 
tilation, weather and fire protection, and 
offers numerous points of mechanical 
superiority which are not found in any 
other window of this type. 


It is constructed of solid steel bars, 
running from head to sill and from jamb 
to jamb, interlocked by the Fenestra 
joint. It has removable, adjustable butts 
which permit the ventilators to be easily 
and quickly removed when desired. It is 
easily erected and glazed and is sufficiently 
flexible to take care of the little variations 
which always occur in building construc- 
tion. 


Fenestra Solid Steel Casements are 
made from the same standard Fenestra 
rolled solid steel bars that are used in the 
standard sash. This type possesses what 
some builders consider an architectural 
advantage in that it has large glass panes 
and a one-light ventilator. The maximum 
overall dimensions of this type of window 
are 5’ 64%" x 7’ 63%”. 

The Detroit Casement is expressly de- 
signed for office buildings, apartments, 
schools, libraries, hospitals and buildings 
of this character. It has large glass lights 
extending the full length of the windows, 
leaves swinging to almost any angle, and 
handsome iron or bronze fittings. Its 
durability and weathering qualities are 
guaranteed. From an architectural stand- 
point alone, Detroit Casements for schools 
are decidedly worth considering. 


Fenestra vertically sliding sash of the

washed and screened and is made to give 
50 to 66% ventilation. While compara- 
tively new on the market it bids fair to be 
very popular, and will undoubtedly be 
used extensively in all types of school 
buildings. 

Details showing the application of any 
or all of these types to school building con- 
struction will be sent gladly on receipt of 
information as to the approximate size of 
the building, number of openings and prob- 
able window design to be used. 


Daylight is the Only Building 
Material That Has Not 
Advanced in Price 


The following paragraphs are taken from 
an article on school construction written for 
the Brickbuilder by Mr. Walter H. Kilham. 


“The windows should be grouped 
together as nearly as possible on the pupils’ 
left, so that the light may be massed, 
thereby furnishing a comparatively even 
distribution of light and minimizing areas 
of light and shadow. The windows should 
extend as near to the ceiling as the princi- 
ples of construction will admit, and should 
be without transoms or unnecessary frame 
work. 


“It is not a bad plan to use factory glass 
in the upper sash of windows on the south 
side of a building to soften the glare of sun- 
light and obviate the constant adjustment 
of window shades. Large sheets of glass 
are more easily washed, but unless plate 
glass is used they present a poor appear- 
ance, and in either case are costly to 
replace when broken. Boston forbids large 
sheets of glass, and architects in general 
seem to feel that better scale is given to the 
building by the smaller panes. The glass

area should always be figured exclusive of 
the muntins. 


“The sills should be kept as near the 
floor as possible in order to get good light 
on the first rows of desks. This height will 
be controlled to some extent by the direct 
radiators under the windows, and should 
be from 2 feet 6 inches to 2 feet 11 inches 
from floor to top of window stool. 


“Much attention should be paid to the 
arrangement of windows and piers so that 
no large piers or solid wall surfaces shall be 
placed so as to cast a shadow on the desks. 
If necessary to have such a pier, it should 
come in the part of the wall forward of the 
area occupied by the pupils. 

““A good point to remember in planninga 
school is that in these days of high prices 
the only article whose cost has not in- 
creased is daylight. 

“When possible, mullions and heads 
should be beveled or splayed so as to 
increase as much as possible the amount of 
light entering the room.”’

dows can be purchased as cheap as wood 
sash and in some instances even cheaper. 


We will frankly admit that where 
windows are of varying sizes and heights 
with only one or two of the same type, the 
initial cost of Fenestra or any other steel 
window will probably be more than the 
initial cost of Wood Sash. On the other 
hand the economy effected by Fenestra in 
the cost of artificial light and in the cost 
of repairs, is worthy of serious considera- 
tion. We affirm very confidently that 
Fenestra is always cheaper than wood 
sash when ULTIMATE COSTS are con- 
sidered. 


Fenestra circular head sash makes a suitable window for this 
gymnasium at the University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. 


Fenestra Service Helps Select 
Proper Types 


Just as a school building differs from a 
factory, so one type of school building dif- 
fers from another. The same principles of 
daylighting and ventilating which apply 
to the class room may not apply at all to 
a gymnasium. 

The selection and proper installation of 
windows best fitted for a given type of 
school building are problems that engineers 
and contractors frequently put up to 
the Fenestra Service Department. 

A line will secure the heartiest co-oper- 
ation without any obligation to you.

Handling and Installing Fenestra 


EFORE shipping FENESTRA frames, every possi- 
ble precaution is taken to insure their being in 
perfect condition. We know that if the units are 
properly handled during transportation and erection, 
no difficulty will be experienced in installing them. 
Handling and Packing—A reasonable amount of care should 
be used in unloading and storing steel frames. In handling 
ornamental frames of this description it is not permissible to 


bang them around, and neither is it advisable to pile them flat 
on rough ground or other uneven surfaces. The sash should be 


Proper method of stacking to prevent 
bending or accidents 


stacked as shown in the accompanying photograph. If in 
handling or shipping some of the bars become bent by accident, 
it is perfectly feasible to hammer the bars so distorted, until 
they are again in line. 


Common Injuries Due to Poor Handling and Erecting— 
The following paragraph calls briefly to your attention some of 
the common injuries that steel sash receive at the hands of the 
average erector. The very nature of steel makes it possible 
to distort the unit to fit all classes of varying conditions that 
may be met in the average building, and the buyer rather than 
correct the fault in his jamb, sill or lintel construction some- 
times distorts the frame in such a way as to overcome the difficul- 
ties met with in his other construction. Perhaps the most com- 
mon error is the general practice of erecting frames out of plumb, 
and with a winding or warped surface. As manufacturers, we 
believe that in general the erection of steel window frames is 
frequently left to a class of labor that is incompetent and lacks 
the experience necessary to appreciate an average mechanical 
job. If the erector or buyer entrusts the erection of his: steel 
frames to a foreman and men that have never attempted such 
work before, and results obtained will be anything but satis- 
factory. In order that our guarantee of absolute satisfaction 
may hold good, we must insist upon the following rules being 
closely observed in the erection of the sash. 


First,—Straighten all bends due to shipping or handling. 
Second,—Erect sash plumb. 

Third,—Erect sash so that the whole unit forms one 
even plane, and does not make a curved surface. 
Fourth,—The lintel construction must be such that 
any building settlement or deflection of the lintel 
will not throw weight upon the top of the frame. 

(See sketch No. 9 for steel lintels.) 


In the following cuts and notes you will find in some detail 
the proper method to be used in erecting the frames in the 
openings. 


Top and Bottom—It sometimes happens that an erector 
or buyer unfamiliar with steel sash will erect the sash bottom 
side up. Any such error can be avoided if he will note that the 
ventilators always open out at the bottom and in at the top. 
(See sketch No. 1.) 


Inside and Outside—All types of FENEsTRA frames have 
an inside and outside. They are all designed so that the glass 
and putty are installed from the inside of the building. (See 
sketch No. 2.) 


Sash Out of Plumb—Sketch No.3 represents the frame true 
and plumb as originally designed. You will readily see that if 
any injury or poor method of erection distorts the opening in 
which the ventilator is supposed to have a snug fit, either the 
opening will have to be made true, or the ventilator will have 
to be bent to conform to the shape of the opening. Sketches 
4, 5 and 6 show the same frame distorted in various ways. The 
dotted line of No. 4 shows how the opening may be forced out 
of square by placing undue pressure on the outside edge of the 
sash. This pressure may be induced by the bulging of columns, 
by blocks and wedges; or it may be caused by using too stiff 
mortar in grouting up the frame. Stiff mortar acts as a wedge. 
Sketch No. 5 shows practically the same conditions occurring 
at the head and sill, while sketch No. 6 indicates how the inside 
portion may become distorted by placing the frame in the 
opening out of plumb. Note that in sketch 6 the interior open- 
ing has become diamond shaped, and it will therefore be necessary 
to make the ventilator diamond shaped, or to straighten up the 
sash.

Jamb Sections—Sketch No. 7 shows a typical jamb section 
in brick work. Note the 34’ clearance necessary between the 
face of the steel and the face of the brick to allow the ventilator 
to work freely in the opening. 


The jamb section in concrete, shown in sketch 8, is very similar 
to that of brick, except that the groove is first formed in a concrete 
column, and afterwards pointed up. The same 3%’ clearance 
must be provided with the concrete as with the brick.

SASH DIMENSION 
Head Section—For lintel construction there are two typical 


Sketch 7 

methods in use depending upon the character of the building. 
A concrete lintel may be formed and is exactly the same as the 
concrete jamb shown in sketch No. 8. The construction of a 
steel lintel is shown on sketch No. 9. On account of the settle- 
ment of brick pilasters and the deflection of steel lintels under 
load, it is necessary to provide some method by which this 
deflection will not throw weight upon the frame. This is accom- 
plished by placing a 2 x 2 x 3" angle at the bottom of the lintel 
and attaching the frame to this angle. In considering this 
matter of deflection, the ordinary practice is to allow 1/360 of 
the span. Such a deflection in a 16 foot wide opening means a 
total deflection of approximately 4’. If the lintel is of the 
construction shown in sketch 10, the 144” deflection will bear 
directly upon top of the frames and cause them to bow in or out 
We cannot be responsible for frames that have been bowed by 
the deflection or settlement of a lintel.

Sill Construction—In sketch No. 9 is shown the ideal sill 
construction. The groove formed in the sill offers a reasonable 
amount of variation in setting both the sills and the frames and 
also provides a means by which the connection between the frames 
and the sills can be made weather-proof. 


Sketch No. 11 shows a flat sill that is in common use in the 
construction of wooden frames. A combination of the steel 
lintel shown in sketch No. 10 and the flat sill of sketch No. 11 
makes an almost impossible construction, since it is necessary 
to set the sill and lintel to within practically 4%’, a requirement 
that is absurd for ordinary building practice. If such a com- 
bination occurs we recommend that the sills be set at least 4%” 
low and the frames then placed on wooden blocks. By this 
means any deflection of the lintel can be taken care of by remov- 
ing the blocks. With this construction it is also possible to 
point up under the sill, thus making a weather-tight joint, while 
if the frames were placed directly on the stone it would be im- 
possible to do any pointing. With this construction it will be 
necessary to provide some means of anchoring the frames to the 
sill in order to withstand the wind pressure. This anchoring is 
accomplished by allowing the mullion bars joining the two units 
to project about 2’ below the bottom of the frame and into 
the sill. See Sketch No. 9. For further details on different kinds 
of mullion construction, see section 1, Fenestra Side-wall Sash, 
pages 1-29 to 1-34 inclusive. We call your attention to the 
fact that neither the lintel construction shown in sketch No. 
10 nor the sill construction shown in sketch No. 11 is recom- 
mended, and above all do not use a combination of the two. 


Adjustment of Ventilators—If for any reason some of 
the ventilators become injured and will not close they can be 
easily adjusted. The hinge is slotted and by loosening the nut 
the ventilator can be raised or lowered as the case may require. 
If the injury is too serious to correct with the adjustment pro- 
vided, use a pry and bend the vent into the correct shape. 
Inspect each ventilator before glazing, and if any difficulty is 
found, correct the same at once. 


Glass—All glass should have 1%” clearance on all sides. If 
glass is too tight it will split. Glass in the ventilator coming 
at the edge of vent must be trimmed 1” at the top and sides and 
71%” at the sill. 

Putty—FeENESTRA putty is by virtue of its quality and con- 
sistency particularly adapted to steel sash glazing. It is the 


result of long and continued experiment, both in the laboratory 
and in the field. 


Standard FENESTRA putty is red in color and is packed in 
25 |b., 50 lb., and 100 Ib. tin lined tubs. White, green or black 
putty can be supplied on request. In ordering putty care 
should be taken that the same does not arrive on the job too 
quickly as our experience has shown that tubs of putty left 
around for three or four months will be seriously injured due 
to the rough handling which they always receive. Approximately 
Y |b. of putty per square foot is required for glazing.

Glazing—To make a first class job of glazing steel frames, 
it is necessary that the glass be bedded in putty as well as 
puttied in the ordinary way. This bedding is accomplished by 
spreading putty over the glazing rabbet before the glass is 
placed in the opening, and then shoving the glass firmly into 
place. The bedding putty will squeeze out at the sides and

It often happens that glaziers fasten scaffolding directly to 
the windows and then load this scaffolding to such an extent that 
the sash are bent and distorted at the point where the scaffolding 
is attached. None but experienced glaziers should be allowed 
to attach scaffolding to steel frames. 

Special Work—The erection of operating devices, sliding 
doors, door frames and other work of such special nature should 
be erected in strict accordance with the drawings which are 
; always furnished by this Company. Such special work should 
Re be in charge of a mechanic at of least average ability, a man 
: that will follow strictly the manufacturer’s recommendation 
See and not depend on his own ideas as to how the work should be 
performed. 

S, Any information, drawings or other service which will tend 
eee sie ty to instruct the erector in the field is cheerfully given upon request.

Bethlehem Steel Co. Has Given 
Thirty-three Orders for Fenestra 


Thirty-three orders from the Bethlehem Steel Co., of South 
Bethlehem, Pa., testify to the satisfaction this corporation finds 
in FENEsTRA Solid Steel Windows. 


The steel company has used 104,232 square feet of FENES- 
TRA Side Wall Sash, 42,825 square feet of FENESTRA Monitor 
Sash and 1,050 square feet of doors in its buildings at South 
Bethlehem, including the Mechanical and Electric Building; 
Carpenter and Pattern Shop; Small Mill Building; Distributing 
Yard: Warehouse, Pickling, Annealing and Cold Drawing; 22” 
Blooming Mill Building; 32’’ Blooming Mill Building; Projec- 
tile Shop Addition; Roll and Repair Shop; Pit Furnace Building; 
Gas Producer Building; Open Hearth Building; Mixer Building; 
Crucible Iron Mill Building, etc. 

In addition to these structures, the company specified D.S. P. 
products for the buildings of the Bethlehem Chili Iron Mines 
Co., at Tofo Chili; some 31,479 square feet of sash, 2,407 
square feet of partitions and 2,284 square feet of doors. 


This makes a total of 135,711 square feet of side wall sash, 
42,825 square feet of monitor, 2,407 square feet of partitions, and 
3,334 square feet of doors sold to this corporation alone, a 
grand total of 184,277 square feet. 


The largest of these installations is that in the addition to 
the Projectile Machine Shop, this building containing 17,053 
square feet.

In addition to the profits arising from increased efficiency among its employes the Troy Laundry of Minneapolis, Minn., 

has secured the lowest compensation insurance rate ever granted to any laundry in the west. ‘The FENEsTRA Sash 

we used are fire-proof,”’ explains Manager Kelly ‘and the ribbed glass gives the employes no incentive to look out of the 

windows. Consequently they keep their eyes on their work and this naturally lessens the risk of accident. The insur- 
ance company took these two points into consideration in fixing our rate.”

Suppose This Were Your Garage 


Clang! Clang! Clang! 

Another company of the Kansas 
City Fire Department dashed up 
to the burning warehouse of the 
A. B. C. Storage & Van Company. 
Filled with hay and gasoline, the 
building made a huge bonfire. Vol- 
umes of smoke and flames were 
rolling upward. 

Just across the narrow alley, 
stood two buildings, one a wooden 
sashed structure; the other a steel 
windowed garage, belonging to the 
Anderson Electric Car Co. 

“Get_after the wood,”’ shouted 
the fire chief, “‘never mind the 
other.” 

While the firemen fought back 
the flames that were eating through 
the wood sash, the steel windowed 
garage was left to take care of itself. 
The firemen knew it was compara- 


tively safe—protected FENESTRA _ 


Solid Steel Windows. 

The steel bars grew red hot, but 
the sash did not fail. The fact that 
it stood up under terrific heat saved 
thousands of dollars worth of cars. 

“We consider this the hardest 
kind of a fire test,” said Jackson & 
Mcllvain, the architects, after the 
fire was over. ‘‘The owners of the 
building, the tenants, and ourselves 
as architects, are ready to recom- 
mend very strongly the windows, 
not only as to their lighting and 
ventilating qualities, but for their 
fire resisting possibilities as well.” 

Just imagine your garage under 
similar conditions. Wouldn’t it

Some Other Fenestra Advantages 


Fire protection is only one reason 
for installing FENESTRA in your 
garage. In addition, consider the 
following: 

Abundant daylighting, 
Thorough ventilation, 
Low Cost. 

Here are three short. lines, but 
each one brings window satisfac- 
tion to you. 

When Architect L. H. Sturges of 
Indianapolis, was commissioned by 
a client to draw plans for a new fire- 
proof garage, he designed a building 
considered by many to be a model 
of its kind. 

Garage men are unanimous in 
their opinion that this building 
practically meets every require- 
ment. In fact, a number of archi- 
tects in Indianapolis have since 
been requested to draw up plans 
and specifications along similar 
lines. 

One of the things which first im- 
presses a visitor to the Sturges gar- 
age, is the well lighted interior. It 
is essentially a daylight garage, due 
to the large expanse of glass ‘‘wall- 
space.” The curtain walls are low 
the pilasters narrow and the re- 
mainder of the wall is of glass and 
steel. 

Electric Bills Reduced 


Did you ever notice the number

of the business attribute this sav-

Testing Fenestra Weathering 


An eighty mile an hour gale can 
not blow fine pastry flour through 
a FENESTRA ventilator when it is 
closed and locked. 


This was proved a short time ago 
when we arranged an “indoor snow- 
storm” in the factory laboratory. 
The flour was blown against the 
sash by compressed air, having 35 
pounds pressure (about equal to 
the wind at 80 miles an hour). 
After a 20-minute test not a par- 
ticle of flour could be found behind 
the sash. 


A window which will stand such 
a test will effectually protect your 
garage against the worst of storms.

light in the side walls. 9151 square 
feet of FENESTRA sash was used in 
this three-story building. 


“Our electric light bills are cut 
in half,’’ comes the word from one 
user of FENESTRA, and another 
says: 


“When we moved from our old 
garage to our new one, the days 
immediately grew longer. Wenow 
get one and a half to two hours 
more daylight, due solely to the 
use of FENESTRA.”’ 


The cheerfulness and sunshine 
which characterizes a building of 
this sort naturally reacts most fav- 
orably upon the employees. Their 
efficiency is increased. They work 
faster and with greater accuracy. 
No longer is it necessary to hold an 
electric torch while exploring with 
straining eyes, some remote part of 
the car. FENESTRA has made such 
practices obsolete. 


The Importance of Thorough 
Ventilation 


When motors are being adjusted, 
the interior of the garage frequently 
becomes filled with gasoline fumes, 
increasing the fire risk and lowering 
the vitality of the mechanic who 
must work in such an atmosphere.

sash practically eliminate this 
trouble. 

“You would be surprised at the 
ease with which the smoke is car- 
ried off in our garage,” says Mr. J. 
B. Sloan} Mere ot) the Crescent 
Garage, Detroit. ‘When our build- 
ing fills up with gasoline vapor, we 
open the sash in the monitors, 
thrust open the windows at each 
side with a simple push of the stay 
bar, and in a moment the smoke is 
gone. 

‘““FENESTRA is a time saver. We 
can open the ventilators along the 
side as fast as we can walk from 


one window to the other. The 
ventilators in the monitor work 
just as easily. If we had wooden 
windows above, we could hardly 
open them, especially in rainy 
weather when the wood warps, 
sticks and jams. 


Pleasing Appearance 


Many garage owners have com- 
mented on the architectural at- 
tractiveness secured through the 
use of FENESTRA. The bars of the 
sash can be used effectively in en- 
hancing the lines of the building. 

Commenting on the FENESTRA 


installed in the Bosworth Garage, 
Anniston, Ala., the owners wrote: 
“The neatness of the sash adds 
much to the appearance of the 
building.” 

Note above the Detroit Cream- 
ery with its wide glass area and 
pleasing lines. ‘‘We have the most 
attractive garage in Detroit,”’ is the 
assertion of the superintendent of 
the building—a sentiment echoed 
by. all; avho™ haverseen- thesnew 
structure. 


The Ellis garage shown on the

Where Fenestra Window Walls Brought Increased Efficiency 


“T find my men work faster and accomplish 


more with less effort in our new building than 
they did before,’ writes Mr. H. L. Defrees, 
Manager of the Indiana Storage & Accessories 
Company of Indianapolis. ‘‘FENEsTRA Solid 
Steel Windows are ideal for garage construc- 
tion. Our garage is evenly heated. The 
gases and smoke never bother us, because of 
the excellent ventilation and the saving in 
light bills is considerable. Put me down as a 
strong FENESTRA Booster’. 

Note the well lighted interior of this garage. 
A flood of daylight penetrates to every part of 
the building. This is due solely to the 171 
units of standard FENEsTRA with its glass 
area of 2837 square feet.

We don’t ask you to take our 
word for the low cost of FENESTRA.

“Entirely Satisfactory” In This 
Six Story Garage 


Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, Architects 
G. C. Mardis Co. Contractors 


“We are satisfied with our selection of 
steel sash,”’ states the Herring Motor Car 
Company, Des Moines, Ia., whose six 
story garage is shown above. ‘‘Believe 
we have the best lighted and ventilated 
shops and assembly rooms in the city. 
As we also use these windows fu’'l sized for 
our north exposure, lighting our offices 
and show rooms, we can add that they are 
entirely satisfactory for this purpose also.”’

distributor of the Ford Motor Co,

for it, but we would prefer to make 
an estimate for you on your own 
building. 

Mr. William H. Ellis, Bridgeport, 
Pa., has, as far as we know, the 
smallest FENESTRATED garage. It 
is large enough for one machine and 
contains only four standard units 
of sash. The garage was built by 
Mr. Ellis himself, and he carefully 
considered the question of price. 
He says FENEsTRA is “10% to 15% 
cheaper than the ordinary wooden 
sash and frames.” 

When Architect’ Harry J. Rill 
planned the Crescent Garage for 
P. A. Turner & Company, he speci- 
fied that steel sash be used. The 
owners knew something about the 
price of wood sash, but when they 
received figures covering the fifty 
units of FENESTRA they were more 
than pleased. After their garage 
was built they enthusiastically 
wrote to us: 


“The Cost of Fenestra Is Much 
Lower Than That of Wood 
Sash”’ 

From St. Petersburg, Fla., comes 
the word from Mr. F. W. Ramm, 
“The cost of FENESTRA is about 
20% lower than stone walls and 
ordinary windows.”’ 

There are some cases where the 
initial cost of wood sash is less than 
that of FENEesTRa. If you want 
special sizes, many different models 
of sash, unusual stunts in window 
construction, you can probably get 
them cheaper in wood than in steel. 
On the other hand, the first cost of 
FENESTRA is its total cost. When 
wooden windows are used, to the

initial cost is added the cost of re- 
pairs, increased artificial lighting 
bills, mistakes and accidents due to

Why Fenestra Gives More Light 


1. Fenestra window walls are 
made of solid steel bars, which are 
much stronger then wood bars, but 
not nearly so thick or cumbersome. 
They let in, about 14% to 20% 
more light than could be had 
through wood sash in the SAME 
OPENING. 


2. When Fenestra Solid Steel 
Windows are installed in a foundry, 
they not only take the place of 
wooden windows, but ALSO TAKE 
THE PLACE OF SOME OF THE 
BUILDING WALL. That is why 
we call them “window walls.” Fre- 
quently these sash extend from the 
roof line to within two or three feet 
of the floor. There is practically 


extends entirely around the building

no limit to the size of opening that 
can be filled. 


Why Fenestra Means Good 


Ventilation 


The building that has the most 
windows does not always have the 
best ventilation. Air currents, ar- 
rangement and size of openings, and 
location of surrounding buildings, 
all have to be taken into considera- 
tion. 

Our field representatives always 
try to design windows that GIVE 
THE VENTILATING SERVICE 
REQUIRED. Sometimes one 
small ventilator in a sash is suffi- 
cient. In other cases, the entire 
window-wall is made movable, al- 
lowing practically 100% ventila-

tion. The care and forethought 
given to this branch of Fenestra 
window service explains why a 
Fenestrated building is always a bet- 
ter place to work, than is a building 
equipped with ordinary windows. 


Protection Against Fire 


When a foundry or any other 
building catches fire, wood sash 
merely help spread the flames. 
Fenestra windows being made of 
solid steel bars and glazed with wire 
glass are an absolute fire barrier. 


Safety First 


It has been proved that dark 
buildings cause accidents, illness 
and mistakes,—liabilities which are 
greatest in the winter when the

days are shortest and employees 
work by artificial light. They are 
at a minimum in summer, and par- 
ticularly in buildings equipped with 
Fenestra Solid Steel windows, be- 
cause employees have the maxi- 
mum amount of natural light. 


Increased Efficiency 
An employee who is feeling fit, and 
who can see his work, will turn cut 


more work and better work than one 
who 1s ul or who 1s working where 


the light is bad. 


Reduced Upkeep—No Repairs 

Fenestra steel windows, do not 
warp, stick or decay. They never 
have to be replaced,—an advantage 
you'll be thankful for when your 
building is 10 years old.

Here’s what a foundry owner says 
about window maintenance: 

“When we rebuilt our 12-inch 
mill department and our roll shop, 
the question of sash material was 
given considerable attention with the 
idea of avoiding if possible the ex- 
pense and trouble incident to the 
upkeep of wooden sash. We instal- 
led 500 or 600 Fenestra Solid Steel 
windows and we have no reason to 
believe that we erred in our judg- 
ment.’—C. F. Mackey, Asst. Gen. 
Mgr., Franklin Steel Works.

Your Windows 
Foundries are not all alike. 
There are peculiarities about every 
building that makes it different 
from every other. Even other 
buildings in the vicinity play an 
important part in determining the 
kind of window service needed. 


FENESTRA Service is maintained 
to assist builders to answer such 
problems correctly. Every problem 
submitted to this department is 
given individual attention by men 
who are authorities in steel window 
construction. If desirable, they 
will gladly prepare, without charge, 
layouts and sketches showing the 
most effective as well as the most 
economical methods of day-lighting., 


22-inch Mill Building 


HIRTY-THREE orders from the Bethlehem Steel 

Co., of South Bethlehem, Pa., testify to the satis- 
faction this corporation finds in FENESTRA Solid Steel 
Windows. 


The steel company has used 104,232 square feet of FENESTRA 
Side Wall Sash, 42,825 square feet of FENEsTRA Monitor Sash and 
1,050 square feet of doors in its buildings at South Bethlehem, 
including the Mechanical and Electric Building; Carpenter and 
Pattern Shop; Small Mill Building; Distributing Yard; Warehouse, 
Pickling, Annealing and Cold Drawing; 22-inch Blooming Mill 
Building; 32-inch Blooming Mill Building; Projectile Shop Addition; 
Roll and Repair Shop; Pit Furnace Building; Gas Producer Build- 
ing; Open Hearth Building; Mixer Building; Crucible Iron Mill 
Building, etc. 


In addition to these structures, the company specified D. S. P. 
products for the buildings of the Bethlehem Chili Iron Mines Co. 
at Tofo, Chili; some 31,479 square feet of sash, 2,407 square feet of 
partitions and 2,284 square feet of doors.

Irving E. Macomber, 
Secretary of the Toledo 
Factories Company.

‘Fenestra’ could be 
improved.’

“Refer ‘Em to us,” said Mr. 
Irving E. Macomber. 

Mr Macomber is secretary of the 
Toledo Factories Company, owner 
of a big ‘“‘industrial building”’ in 
which Fenestra window walls 
were used. 

“‘We have always been delighted 
with Fenestra sash and consider 
its selection for our building about 
the wisest move we made,”’ Mr. 
Macomber wrote us. “It is difficult 
for us to conceive how your steel 
sash as installed in our building 
could be improved upon. It gives 
us pleasure to bear testimony to the 
excellence of your sash and the 
uniform courtesy you have extend- 
ed our company during building 
construction.”’ 

All of which indicates that Mr. 
Macomber is a_ booster worth 
having. 

The Toledo Factories building 
belongs to a new type of industrial 
structure designed particularly for 
the small manufacturer in the large 
city. It isa modern “‘loft’’ building, 
equipped with light, power, gas, 
water, steam, sprinkler protection, 
automatic temperature control,

shared by tenants, sometimes 
several on each floor, who carry on 
their small businesses amid all the 
factory advantages enjoyed by the 
largest manufacturer. 


Architects Schenck and Williams 
of Dayton, who designed the 
Toledo Factories building also 
planned the Beaver Power build- 
ing in Dayton, a structure of the 
same type, and used for the same 
purpose. It was this fireproof, Fen- 
estrated Beaver Power building 
which checked the flames as they 
swept through Dayton during 


the flood in 1913. It offered a 
barrier that the fire could not leap 
and saved that portion of the city 
as well as the hundreds of refugees 
who crowded within its walls. 


In Albany, N. Y., the Com- 
mercial Company erected the 
Albany Industrial building, 
designed for small manufacturing 
purposes, and enclosed completely 
by Fenestra window walls. 


Mr. P. D. Kierman, president of 
the company wrote us: 


“TI am taking this occasion to com- 
pliment you on the excellent work 
which you have done in connection 
with our new Industrial Building. 
The Fenestra Windows are all 
that you claim for them and they 
have not only had the effect of 
making our factory as bright as 
day, but they also produce a very 
pleasing architectural finish. 

“*You are at liberty at any time to 
refer to us and I will be glad to give 
anybody a personal endorsement’’. 


The Industrial building at Balti- 
more is another excellent example 
of a Fenestrated “‘loft’’ building, 
as is the Schrader building, New 
York, and the Larkin building, 
Philadelphia, although the latter is 
occupied chiefly by the Larkin 
Company.

The Toledo Factories 
Building 


The Toledo Factories Building is 
of the ‘‘flatslab’”’ style construction. 
The building is sub-divided as cir- 
cumstances may require by the 
use of movable partitions, and 
the only finish given to either ceil- 
ings or walls is one coat of cold 
water paint. 


It is probably safe to assume, 
that the average expense of a build- 
ing of this character, is somewhere 
between six and eight cents per 
square foot per year; this, of course, 
does not include any administrative 
or overhead items. 


Average rental for such buildings 
appears to be about twenty-five 
cents a foot. 


The Toledo Factories Building 
has been entirely successful in every 
respect; architects, owners ai _ten- 
ants are enthusiastic. Moreover, 
they say that Fenestra sash has 
been an important element in the 
establishment of this success. For 


What Architects Say About Industrial 
Building Construction 


From anarchitectural standpoint 
the comments of Messrs. Schenck 
& Williams are interesting: 


‘We have no hesitancy in stating 
that a properly planned factories 
building is an excellent investment; 
more lucrative than apartment 
building, or than any other form of 
building investment that we know. 


“Immediately after the erection 
of our first fireproof, rental factor- 
ies building in this city, the same 
client commissioned us to erect a 
second structure of thesame nature.

usual glass exposure—there being 
some 29,000 panes of glass in the 
building—the temperature even in 
zero weather was never below 70 
degrees. 


At the time of the Omaha tor- 
nado, there was, a very heavy gale 
in Toledo. Many plate glass win- 
dows were broken in the business 
section of the city, but at the

secretary’s own words:

there was a heavy

necessity. Few of these smaller 
industries buy in car load lots, 
none of them ship in car load lots. 
Therefore, they do not feel the ne- 
cessity of having a railroad siding. 

“The building site should have 
as many open sides as possible so 
that it will not be necessary to take 
out valuable space with light courts 
and hallways. 

“It is necessary to study out for 
each particular building site an 
arrangement that will concentrate, 
as much as possible, the public 
halls, elevators and stairways, so 
that a minimum amount of space 
will be wasted in hall ways, and so 
that the rental area may be divided 
into spaces of various sizes to 
accommodate tenants of all classes.

‘‘Minimum rental charges amount to about 18 
cents per square foot per year, which amount is 
paid by tenants occupying over 20,000 square 
feet of space. Smaller spaces bring from 20 to 22 
cents per square foot per year. 

‘All of the above-named prices include heat, 
elevator service and public toilet service. All 
tenants pay for their own light and power in 
addition to these prices, and maintain their own

“We find, in the building which we are oper- 
ating, that our total cost of operation, including

Fenestra Steel Partitions 


Fenestra steel partitions offer an ideal method 
of sub-dividing large floor areas into small offices, 
stock rooms, corridors, time-keeper’s and ship- 
ping rooms, etc. Such partitions meet all the 
requirements in the various cities in regard to 
weight, fire resisting qualities, ventilation, and 
light, and cost less than any other form of fire 
resisting construction. 

All partitions are constructed in units and 
these are then joined together at the site by 
means of stiffening bars or mullions. This

unit construction not only facili- 
tates handling in shipping, but also 
makes it possible to take down the 
partition after it has been in use, 
and re-erect it in some other portion 
of the building. In no way can this 
re-arrangement be accomplished 
more economically or more rapidly 
than with the Fenestra unit parti- 
tion construction.

vation in the building material world. Other 

sash manufacturers have endeavored to market 
windows of this construction for some time, but the 
makers of ‘‘FENESTRA”’ preferred to do their experi- 
menting in their own shops. FENEsTRA Vertically 
Sliding Sash as now offered to the public has with- 
stood many severe tests which conclusively prove it 
to be the best sash of this type on the market. 


\ Y ERTICALLY sliding steel sash is not an inno- 


In the early stages of vertically sliding sash manu- 
facture, it was considered necessary for weathering 
purposes, to have a flat surface contact between the 
guides and the sliding section of the sash. (See 
photographs 1 and 3 in accompanying group.) This 
construction was always open to objections, for if the 
sliding section fitted close enough to the guides to 


make the weathering perfect, expansion and contrac- 
tion of the steel members caused trouble in operation 
and the sash invariably bound and sometimes rusted 
together. On the other hand, if sufficient clearance 
were allowed so that the sash slid easily, the weather- 
ing was almost sure to be imperfect. 


FENESTRA Vertically Sliding Sash does not attempt 
a flat surface weathering but takes care of this impor- 
tant feature in an entirely different way. The danger 
of sticking, binding and rusting is eliminated by the 
use of a channel section with flaring sides (see photo- 
graphs 2 and 4 in accompanying group) which form a 
line contact instead of a flat surface contact with the 
sliding portion of the sash. This flaring channel sec- 
tion is exclusive in FENESTRA Vertically Sliding Sash 
and insures easy operation, without danger of rust. 


Weathering Fenestra Vertically Sliding Sash 


of the most important details of this type of 

construction. In early models the weathering 
depended exclusively on a flat surface contact between 
the channel shaped guides and the sliding section of 
the sash. This proved unsatisfactory, however, and 
then came a development in weathering that is most 
easily shown by the accompanying sketches. 


Fig. 1. Represents the weathering used on the 
first types of vertically sliding sash. The direction 
of the air currents is indicated by the black arrows in 
the outline sketch. In this type of weathering the 
air currents took three directions before gaining en- 
trance to the building. 


Fig. 2. This type of construction quickly proved 
superior to the type shown in Figure 1 on account of 
the fact that the air currents indicated by the arrows

Figure 2 came a new type of construction shown in 
Figure 3 in which the air currents were given seven 
different directions before entering the building. 
This is the type of weathering now in general use by 
most manufacturers of vertically sliding sash. 


Fig. 4. This type of weathering is an improvement 
on the type shown as Figure 8, chiefly because of the 
insertion of an angle attached to the sliding section of 
the sash and protruding into the center of the channel 
guides. This, as will be noted by counting the arrows, 
gives the air currents ten different directions before 
entrance to the building is obtained. This type of 
weathering has just been perfected, and is used exclu- » 
sively on FENESTRA Vertically Sliding Sash.

What Are Fenestra Vertically Sliding Counter Balanced Windows? 


1—They are solid steel, fire-proof windows 
that WORK UP AND DOWN just 


like wooden windows. 


2—They weather perfectly by a new 
system of BAFFLE WEATHERING 
(see opposite page). 


38—They can be easily SCREENED, 


WASHED AND SHADED (see page 4). 


4—They OPERATE EASILY even when 
newly painted because they have LINE 
CONTACT (see opposite page), and be- 
cause the connecting chain passes over

N THE preceding page you 
have four good reasons for 
the popularity of Fenestra 

Vertically Sliding Windows of the 
counter balanced type, and there 
are other good reasons that you 
will come to in a minute. Do 
not assume from the foregoing, how- 
ever, that Fenestra Vertically Slid- 
ing Sash of the counter balanced 
type is a distinct improvement on 
the Horizontally Pivoted type or 
any of the other designs made by 
this company. It is not. It has, 
however, certain advantages by 
virtue of its method of operation 
which make it particularly adapt- 
able to buildings of the better class, 
and for this type of structure we 
unhesitatingly recommend it in 
preference toother Fenestra models. 


Work Up and Down 


Simplicity of operation is one of 
the features of this new Fenestra 
model which appeals most strongly 
to those who are interested in office 
buildings, apartments, banks, 
schools, hospitals, loft buildings 
and similar structures. Asamatter 
of fact, a steel sash that weathers 
properly and still operates easily 
is an innovation. It has 
never ‘“‘been done’”’ before. 
How it was accomplished 
by the Detroit Steel Prod- 
ucts Company’s engineers 
after a great many other 
sash manufacturers had 
failed, is told on page 2. 


Easy to Screen 


Fenestra Vertically Slid- 
ing Windows can be 
screened at minimum ex- 
pense and trouble. Screens 
of either metal or wood are 
applied directly above and 


Mills, Rhines, Bellman &§ Nordhoff, 


below the center fixed unit in the 
66% ventilated type, and above 
and below the meeting rail in the 
50% ventilated type. 

All screens can be installed from 
the inside of the building, and are 
readily removed for storage in 
winter.

The type of screens contem- 
plated should be specified, as pro- 
vision for their attachment can 
be made in the Fenestra shop 
better than in the field. 


Accessible for Cleaning 


The ease with which Fenestra 
Vertically Sliding Windows can be 
washed is a matter that should 
receive consideration. 

Every pane of glass can be 
reached, if not from the inside of 
the building, at least by standing 
on the sill. 

When a vertically sliding unit is 
flanked by Standard Fenestra, the 
sliding unit forms a means of egress 
through which the flanking units 
can be cleaned on the outside. 


Shades Operate Easily 


Vertically Sliding Fenestra offers 
every facility for shading. Shades 
attached to the frame, by the usual 
brackets, operate just as on ordi- 
nary wooden windows. 


Construction Details 


The outside framing is built up 
of a special 6’’ channel section. 
The head and sill members of the 
frame are cut with three 
pivots at each end. These 
pivots are inserted in holes 
at ends of jamb members 
and riveted over, forming 
a neat, rigid and unusually 
durable corner joint (see 
page 5). 

The sill member of the 
frame is set at a slope of 
114” to the foot, thus form- 
ing a drip. 

A special rolled steel 
channel guide, with flaring 
legs, is riveted to the 
channel framing, and acts

Meeting Rail in 50% Type 


When 50% ventilated units are 
specified, the frame contains two 
sliding sections, the upper one 
descending as the lower one rises. 
Between these two sash a ‘‘meeting 
rail”’ of 192” section is pivot-ended 
into the jambs of the frame. This 
acts as a stiffener and also serves to 
separate the moving portions of 
the unit nearly an inch and a half. 
A person lifting the lower sash by 
placing his hands underneath is 
protected by this clearance against 
injury to his knuckles when the 
upper sash descends. 


The meeting rail also carries a 
pressed metal section which over- 
laps similar sections at the head 
of the lower sash and at the sill of 
the upper sash, forming'the weather- 
ing at the center of the unit. 


When 66% ventilated units are 
specified, the frame contains two 
sliding sections and one fixed sec- 
tion. 


Chains Are Adjustable 


A special chain, which will with- 
stand 600 pounds load, connects 
and counter-balances the upper 
and lower sash units. This chain 
passes over a roller bearing pulley 
27%” in diameter, which is encased 
in a special cast iron housing. 
Special adjustable brackets are 
used to attach the chain to the 
sash, so that, if need be, it can be 
removed, replaced, tightened or 
loosened without disturbing the 
rest of the window. (See page 5.)

Hardware 


Units up to three feet wide are 
equipped with a malleable iron 
handle, tap screwed to the center 
of the sill of the lower unit. Units 
over three feet wide are equipped 
with two handles of the same type. 
Bronze handles can be supplied at 
additional cost. 


A locking device is supplied 
similar to that commonly used on 
wood sash. The catch is attached 
to the head of the lower sliding 
section while the lock plate is 
attached to the meeting rail on the 
50% ventilated type and to the 
sill of the fixed section in the 66% 
ventilated type. 


Windshields at the Sill 


Glass windshields to deflect air 
currents at the sill when the window 
is open can be fitted to Fenestra 
Vertically Sliding Sash when 
desired. They are not standard 
however and hence are supplied 
only when specified and at addi- 
tional cost. 


How to Select the Num- 
ber and Kind of Units to 
Fill an Opening 

ET us suppose, for instance, that 

a vertically sliding unit is de- 

sired approximately 7’ high by 
about 5’ wide. 


Referring to the table of heights 
we find that 6’ 1034” is the dimen- 
sion nearest approaching to 7’,

and since 6’ 103%” is one of the 
three dimensions marked * we 
know instantly that the units must 
be 50% ventilated. 


Glancing across at the table of 
widths we find a dimension of 
5’ 0144""._ This can be secured in a 
sash 4 panes wide, each pane being 
14” wide. 


As the unit height dimension is 
6’ 103%’’, each sliding section is 
approximately 3’ 6” by 5’, or 17 
square feet, safely within the 25 
square foot limit. 


If you desire only one glass light 
to each sliding section you can have 
it. It is advisable, however, to use 
heavy glass and glazing angles 
wherever the area of glass is more 
than 10 square feet. 


Combinations of Units 


When it is desired to combine 
two or more vertically sliding units 
in a single bay, the accompanying 
Table of Overall Dimensions will 
be found of considerable assistance. 


Let us suppose that we have a 
building designed with window 
openings measuring 18’, and see 
what units should be selected to 
fill this opening most economically. 
Naturally, it is desirable that the 
same width of glass should be used 
throughout, and the larger the glass 
size the less the cost of the unit per 
square foot. 


In the Overall Dimensions table, 
in the column marked 16” glass we 
find a dimension 17’ 4144”. Column 
two of the same table shows that 
such a dimension calls for a com- 
bination of three units, each 4 panes

wide. The footnote says that this dimension can 
be increased one-half inch for each mullion, and 
in the combination of three 4-light wide units we 
have two mullions; therefore, we can secure a 
maximum width of 17’ 514”. 


If this is not sufficiently close to our 18’ dimen- 
sion, we will have to try 14” glass, which gives us 
a dimension of 17’ 9” by using three units, two 5 
lights wide and. one 4 lights wide, and this dimen- 
sion can be increased one inch through the use of 
two No. 4 mullions—total, 17’ 10”. 


om 


If we are obliged to get still closer to 18’ we can 
use 12” glass, where we get a dimension of 17’ 1014" 
by using four units, 4 lights wide, with three mul- 
lions; and this dimension can be increased to 17’ 


1134" by using No. 4 mullions. This brings us Suggested Combinations of Vertically Sliding Fenestra Units

Combinations of Fenes- 
tra Vertically Sliding 
Sash with Standard 
Side Wall Sash 


T IS very easy to combine stand- 

ard Fenestra Vertically Sliding 
Sash units with standard Hori- 
zontally Pivoted Side Wall Sash. 
This can be done by following the 
details on pages 7 and 8. 


The plate mullion is not used, 
but an angle section is riveted to 
the vertically sliding units before 
they leave our factory. When the 
sash are in position the leg of this 
angle is bolted to the leg of the ‘94 
section,’ which is the outside mem- 
ber of the standard side wall sash 
unit. 


Where one vertically sliding unit 
is used between two standard side 
wall units, a 2’”” x 2” angle is used 
to join the units. 


Where two vertically — sliding 
units are used, one on either side of 
a standard side wall unit, a 1’’ x 1” 
angle is used to join the units. 


In combinations of this character 
the width and height of the stand- 
ard side wall units correspond with 
the width and height of the stand- 
ard vertically sliding units, so that 
a unit of vertically sliding sash is 
interchangeable with a unit of 
standard side wall sash. This inter-

Note the alignment of the bars of the horizontally pivoted side wall sash on 
the sides with those of the vertically sliding units in the center 


changeability makes possible a great 
many combination bays of very 
attractive and convenient design 
and of very moderate cost. 


The Erection of Vertically Sliding Fenestra 


HE erection of Fenestra Verti- 
cally Sliding Counter Balanced 
Sash is simplicity itself. 

Each unit is self-contained and 
ready to place in the building. 
No unit leaves the Fenestra shop 
until adjusted complete with the 
exception of installing the glass 
and hardware. When two or more 
units are necessary to fill an open- 
ing the only extra field labor 
required is to set the units side by 
side and bolt the mullion plates 
into position. 

If a vertically sliding unit is to 
be used singly, it leaves the factory 
with a 1’’x 1” continuous angle 
attached to the frame all around. 
This angle can be used either to 
imbed in concrete or bolt to steel 
work. Z lugs are sometimes sub- 
stituted at the sill if the occasion 
demands. 


When the sash arrive, all that is 
necessary is to place them in the 
opening and block up at the sills, 
care being taken that the blocks 
under the windows are placed at 
the extreme ends of the lower sill 
bar. Each unit is then plumbed 
to an exact line, and temporarily 
fastened at the head. The wires 
holding the ventilators are then 
removed and the ventilators oper- 
ated to see that all working parts 
are free and clear. 


It may be found that one corner 
of the unit is slightly lower than 
the other and that the ventilator, 
when it comes to the sill, does not 
properly seat. If this occurs, it 
should be corrected at once, by 
raising or lowering the corner by 
means of the wedge block. 


After the ventilator is made to 
seat properly at the sill, and works 


easily through the entire length of 
travel the unit should be securely 
and permanently fastened at the 
head. If more than one unit is 
required in an opening, the mullion 
plates should next be attached and 
the brick wall run up (in the case 
of a brick building) or the jambs 
pointed up (if the structure is of 
concrete.) In running up a brick 
jamb care must be taken that no 
crowding of the 6’ channel frame 
is allowed, as otherwise the jamb 
will take a curved line and cause 
the sliding ventilators to bind. If 
it is impossible to prevent the brick- 
layers from crowding the brick at 
this point it is advisable to put 
2'’ x 2’ wood spacers between the 
channels and leave these spacers 
in place until after the brick work 
is completed. 

After the jambs are completed 
it is necessary to again try the 
ventilators to see that they work 
properly. If no difficulty is en- 
countered the concrete sills should 
then be poured and the opening 
is ready for glazing. 

The above instructions should be 
carefully followed, as we cannot be 


16 - 10 


Vertically 
Sliding Sash 


responsible for the proper working 
of windows that have been erected 
out of plumb, or that have been 
crowded in at the jambs to such 
an extent that the sliding venti- 
lators bind at this point. 


Pour Sills After Erection 


We recommend in all cases that 
concrete sills be poured after the 
erection of the windows. While it 
is possible to use stone sills and cut 
them in such a way that a satisfac- 
tory job of pointing can be made 
between the steel sill of the window 
and the stone sill, we believe the 
method recommended is the better 
and will be more economical. 

In case it is absolutely necessary 
to furnish stone sills the construc- 
tion of the sill must be such that 
the 1”x 1’ angle shown at the 
bottom of the 6’ channel will fit 
into a groove in the stone, thus 
forming a proper anchorage against 
wind-pressures. 

At least 34"’ should be allowed 
for pointing between the steel sill 
of the window and the top of the 
stone sill. 


How to Glaze Fenestra 
Vertically Sliding Units 


Standard practice calls for glaz- 
ing with standard clips and putty. 
In case the glass lights are excep- 
tionally large, the use of glazing 
angles at a slight additional cost is 
recommended. In case glazing 
angles are used, they should be 
attached to the interior muntin 
bars=with: 46°" 6-32" Ro He Mes: 
and nuts through 3"’ x $5" transfer 
slots in muntin bars. Attach- 
ment to the outside bars of the 
unit will be made with 8-32” 
machine screws. 

14” wire or plate glass is recom- 
mended in all cases. After the 
sash have been glazed, the windows 
should not be operated until the 
putty has had time to set. 


The Fenestra Service De- 
partment Will Be Glad 
to Assist You 


Our Service Engineers, whose 
chief duty is to assist builders in 
the correct installation of Fenestra 
products, will be glad at any time 
to discuss construction details and

suggest those most suitable for use 
with Vertically Sliding Sash. This 
is, of course, without any obliga- 
tion on the part of the builder. 


Naturally better service and a 
more varied window design can be 
secured if rough sketches of the 
building are obtainable before 
plans and specifications are com- 
pleted. Sometimes the change 
of a few inches in the window 
dimensions makes a considerable 
difference in the appearance of 
the building and its possibilities for 
daylight and ventilation. 


Miscellaneous Information 


Dimension Points—Dimension points 
on Fenestra Vertically Sliding Sash, 
counter balanced type, are taken 134” out- 
side the center line of the ‘‘192”’ section, 
which is the frame around the sliding 
units. In general it can be said that the 
dimension points of the sash are the 
dimensions of the clear opening taken on 
the inside of the window. The height of 
the Fenestra Vertically Sliding Sash 
always corresponds to the height of 
standard Fenestra sash. 


Nomenclature—Fenestra Vertically 
Sliding Sash is designated in general by 
the symbol “V. S.”’ The first figure 
following this symbol indicates the number 
of panes wide; the second figure indicates 


It is hard to distinguish between the two types even 


the number of panes high (including all 
sliding and fixed sections), and the third 
figure indicates the number of sash or 
sections employed in making up the 
complete unit. Thus V.S. 333, indicates 
a Vertically Sliding Sash, three panes 
wide, three panes high, with three units 
employed—evidently a 66% ventilated 
type, each section being three panes wide 
by one pane high. 


Limits—Vertically Sliding Sash are 
limited in overall height to 12’. An 
individual sliding or fixed section must 
not exceed 6’ in width, nor an area of 25 
square feet. 


Shop Drawings—On all jobs calling 
for Vertically Sliding Sash, shop drawings 
prepared by our Engineering Depart- 
ment are absolutely essential. Sufficient 
time must be allowed for the preparation 
and approval of these drawings before the 
manufacture and shipment of material. 


Brass Guides—Standard constructio" 
calls for steel guide channels, but when 
brass guides are specified, they can be 
furnished at an extra price if extra time 
is allowed for manufacture. 


Crating, Shipping and Storing—All 
Vertically Sliding Sash shipped in less 
than carload lots are carefully crated to 
prevent injury during transit. Ordinary 
care must be exercised in transporting 
the material from the siding to the build- 
ing site. For storage at the building site, 
a level piece of ground should be selected, 
skids laid and the units stacked on edge. 
Do not pile one above the other. We 
cannot be responsible for injuries due to 
improper methods of handling or storing.

ONTRAST the early types 

of coal breakers, with their 

gloomy interiors, practically 

devoid of fresh air, with the new 

Loomis Breaker of the Delaware, 

Lackawanna & Western Railway 
near Nanticoke, Pa. 


Some difference! and most of it 
due to the installation of Fenestra 
Steel Windows. 


In the old style breaker the lack 
of light was an accepted thing. 
Fresh air, except perhaps that fur- 
nished by a blower system, was un- 
known. It was a treat to work 
near a window. 


But with the coming of Fenestra, 
daylight became universal, and to-

day darkness and gloom are no more 
a part of the modern breaker than 
they are of the modern factory. 


The Loomis Breaker illustrates 
the strides that have been made in 
the construction of this type of 
building. 


From the top of the concrete coal 
pockets to the peak of the roof, this 
magnificent structure of the Lacka- 
wanna interests is composed en- 
tirely of glass and steel. 


Its wall area is 93.5% “‘daylight.”’

ing 22,000 panes of 13” x 24” wire 
glass, %” thick. In other respects 


as well, it is the last word in breaker 
construction. 


THE REASON WHY 


Why did the Lackawanna Rail- 
road build such a breaker as this? 
Why use such a huge amount of 
“window wall” in its construction? 


The answer is one of efficiency. 
The use of Fenestra gives to the 
Loomis Breaker: 


Abundant daylighting, 
Thorough Ventilation, 
Reduced Insurance, 
Increased Production, 
Absolute Fire-Protection, 
Low Cost of Up-Keep.

Contrast this picture with the one on the opposite page. Notice how dark this interior 
is as compared to the other. Imagine the difference in air and light that enters these 


two breakers. 


DAYLIGHT ADVANTAGES 


A glance inside shows instantly 
what abundant daylighting brings 
to the Loomis Breaker. 


Instead of a shadowy tower 
pierced here and there by small con- 
ventional windows, mere “holes in a 
wall,” the Loomis Breaker is flooded 
with clear, white daylight. 


Fenestra window walls enable the 
workers to increase their production 
and better the quality of their 
work. Fast, clean picking is the 
result. 


Fenestra cuts down overhead 
costs as well; In the ordinary 
breaker electric lights burn all day 
long, while in the Fenestrated 
Loomis Breaker no lights are needed 
within before they are needed with- 
out. 


The daylight environment reacts 
favorably upon the employees. The 
breaker-boy is no longer weary- 
eyed and sickly, due to lack of 
light and air. Working in the 
daylight is a tonic that makes 
healthy, vigorous employees—just 
the kind the Lackawanna wants. 


EASY HEATING 


Most persons have an idea that 
a huge glass structure like the 
Loomis Breaker is hard to heat, but 
facts do not bear out this theory. 


A large area of glass does not 
necessarily imply great heating difh- 
culties. To heat a building, even 
a glass building, is not difficult if 
there are no leaks to let cold air in 
and warm airout. Fenestra double, 
flat-contact weathering around the 
ventilators effectually prevents 
leaks. 


FIRE PROTECTION 


While the isolated position of the 
Lackawanna breaker has reduced 


the fire risk considerably, the ofh- 
cials of the road were determined 
to avoid all chances. They made 
the frame of the building of steel and 
concrete; and they added to their 
protection by using Fenestra. These 
window walls form a dead line 
against fire. 


Fenestra sash made of interlocked 
solid steel bars with extra strength 
at the point of intersection are 
particularly adapted to breaker con- 
struction. ‘The throbbing and vi- 
bration of heavy machinery, the 
stresses and strains of wind pressure 
merely offer additional arguments 
for the use of this material. 


OTHER INSTALLATIONS 
While the Loomis Breaker is 


perhaps the largest coal breaker in 
which steel sash have been used, it is 
by no means the only one. 


Another notable example of this 
“daylighted construction” is the 
breaker of the Lehigh Valley Rail- 
road, designed by Engineer Paul 
Sterling. This building constructed 
several years ago contains all the 
advantages of this modern method 
of building. 


The Lackawanna is at present 
building the Woodward Breaker at 
Kingston, Pa., which will contain 
approximately 48,263 square feet of 
steel sash. 


Note the large expanse of glass—93.5% of the wall area of the Loomis Breaker is Fenestra.

Enticing a Breeze Through a Laundry 


HEN Secretary C. A. Chid- 
y y sey, of the Banner Launder- 
ing (Co-,-9 Detroit, Os Kad 
the plans and specifications for the 
company’s new building, complex 
theories about air currents were 
about the last thing he had in mind. 
Mr. Chidsey had to solve the 
practical difficulty of building a 
laundry and operating it at the 
same time. To do this, he built four 
walls and a roof completely outside 
of the building which the company 
then occupied; then when the new 
building wascompleted, he toredown 
the old one, moved a few benches 
and mangles and the Job was done. 
Itisnot thisunusual method of con- 
structing a laundry that we care to 
elaborate, but the results of it—for 
Banner Laundry building because 
it was so peculiarly erected is espe- 
cially fitted to laundering purposes. 
And here is where the afore- 
mentioned air currents come in. 


Two Problems of Ventilation 


There are two main ventilating 
problems that interest the builders 
of a modern, up-to-date laundry. 


1—How to remove the steam and 
heat generated by the washers and 
the mangles during the summer. 

2—How to get sufficient hght 
for markers, ironers, assemblers 
and checkers during the winter. 


Mr. Chidsey solved both these — 


problems at once. He placed the 
ceiling of his work room two stories 


Getting air through a building is like getting 
air through a stove. Make your exit high and 
your intake low. Ventilators placed like those 
shown at the left of the drawing give ventila- 
tion like that secured through the stove on 
the right. 


(approximately 25 feet) above the 
floor—and—he installed Fenestra 
Solid Steel Window Walls. 


Now the theory of ventilation 
isn’t nearly so complicated as it 
first appears. Ventilating a laun- 
dry is considerably like getting a 
draft through a stove, and as 
everyone knows about stoves, 
let’s consider a successful stove 
and see how it develops the suc- 
cessful laundry. 

The problem in a stove is to 
take off the gas and smoke and 
heated air and circulate other air 
through it to make the fire burn. 
To do this we build a chimney, be- 
cause it is a fundamental fact in 
physics that the speed of hot air in 
rising is in proportion to the height 
of the exit above the intake. Also, 
we open the “draft’’ door below 
the grates to let fresh air in, be- 
cause anyone can see that to make 
the air move as far as possible, we 
must have its intake as far as pos- 
sible from its exit. 

All right, then—consider the 
movement of air in a laundry. It 


4 


furnishes exactly the same problem. 

We wish to remove the heated air 
and soapy odor and leave the work 
room comfortable and fresh. What 
do we do? Why, make the ceiling as 
high as possible, place the aper- 
tures through which hot air exits 
as near the ceiling as_ possible, 
place the apertures through which 
the fresh air enters as near the 
floor as possible. 


And what is the result? 


Manager C. H. Wheeler of the 
Banner Laundry says that although 
the summer succeeding the erection 
of their building was the hottest they 
had ever experienced, they didn’t 
use an electric fan in any part of 
the work room. Moreover, the loss 
of employees, which is particularly 
large in laundries during the sum- 
mer, was less during this super- 
heated season than it had ever been 
before. 

“The girls seemed contented; 
they wanted to stay,” says Mr. 
Wheeler. 


Like an echo of this statement 
comes a letter from Manager C. 8S. 
Leeper of the Acme Laundry Com- 
pany of Birmingham, Ala. (If 
you have ever been in Birmingham 
you know how hot it can 
get down there.) 

“We get lots of 
fresh air but no 
drafts,”’ is pre- 
cisely the way

The Saving Secured Through Better Light 


UST how great a saving is ef- 
fected in laundries by additional 
daylight secured through Fen- 
estra Window Walls is hard to 
measure, but every user of Fenestra 
will testify that there IS a saving. 
A portion of it can be traced through 
decreased bills for electric lighting, 
but a far larger saving is secured 
through the increased speed and 
accuracy of employees.

work exclusively estimates that she 
can do 25% more by having her 
sorting racks near a bay of Fenestra 
solid steel windows. 

“The natural light doesn’t tire 
the eyes; there’s no glare, and yet 
the racks are so well lighted that 
it’s easy to see the marks,” she says. 
“T find I can work faster, and don’t 
make near so many mistakes.” 

Light, too, is a tremendous factor 
in accident prevention. Scientific 
investigations covering a_ large 
number of manufacturing plants 
have proved that accidents greatly 
increase after nightfall, and that 
there is a larger number of accidents 
during the dark days of winter than 
during the bright days of summer. 

“The well lighted work place is 
the safest work place,’ said the 
National Founders Association in a 
recent Safety Bulletin. ‘It should 
always be the aim both through 
proper building construction and 
through continuing cleanliness to 
admit ample daylight into the work- 
shop during the working period.”’ 


And these words apply with equal 
forcefulness to the laundry. The 
safe laundry is the well lighted one. 
The use of Fenestra floods the in- 
terior of the building with daylight, 
thus eliminating dark shadows 
about the machines and reducing the 
chances of injured fingers and arms. 

Burns are largely avoided where 
the girls at the irons and the man- 
gles work in comfort in a room that 
is free from shadow.

Spoilage! 

How many times has the ex- 
cuse been made: “I didn’t see 
it was scorched.” 

Every time that happens it 
means real money out of the 
cash drawer, and maybe a dis- 
gruntled customer to boot. 

How many times does the 
flat work go out poorly folded 
because the girl couldn’t see very 
well and didn’t get the edges just 
even? How many stains that 
might have been taken out of 
the table linen “get by” be- 
cause the inspector ‘‘didn’t see 
them’? How many men with 
16%” necks are made angry be- 
cause they get a package of No.

the girls are tired and “mix the

Light pays! It reduces waste and 
keeps errors at a 
minimum.

That’s what Manager Frank

pany, Minneapolis, wrote us when 
we asked him how he liked his 
new building. 

Manager Kelley’s enthu- 
slasm was aroused

because with one exception the 
Troy Laundry has the lowest com- 
pensation insurance rate in the 
United States. 

The Troy Laundry Company 
pays only $1.11 per hundred dol- 
lars of its payroll. The nearest 
approach to this in Minnesota 
is a small laundry which is paying 
$1.29. The average rate is about 
$1.45 to $1.50, the base rate for 
this class of risk being $1.90. 

Mr. Kelley says: 

“The two items which secured 
us this rate were the large amount 
of light which came through the 
Fenestra Window Walls, combined 
with the use of ribbed glass. This 
type of glass, by preventing the 
worker from gazing out of the 
window and letting his eyes wander 
away from his work, lessens the 
risk of his getting caught in the 
machinery.” 


“Built-In” Protection Against Fire Losses 


N addition to accident 
|! prevention, there is the 
prevention of fire: 

“We know that Fen- 
estra has played an 
important part in re- 
ducing our fire risk,” 
writes the manager of 
a well known Detroit 
laundry. 

“Ourdry cleaning de- 
partment passed a very 
favorable inspection 
under the city ordi- 
nance governing this 
line of business.” 


Solid steel bars, framing panes of 
wire glass, form a dead line against 
fire that is recognized by the in- 
surance companies. Certain types 
of Fenestra sash designed for extra 
hazardous positions even carry the 
Underwriters’ label. 


Dozens of letters are in our files 
testifying to the value of Fenestra 
as a fire retardant. One such 
comes from the Beilstein Laundry 
in Sandusky, Ohio. 


Just across a twelve-foot alley, 
next door to the Beilstein Laundry, 
there used to be a large brick 
garage housing upward of forty

motor cars and trucks. One day 
the garage took fire. Gasoline 
tanks exploded. The walls fell 
out. The roof fell in. The entire 
building was wrecked. 

A sheet of flame leaped the alley 
and billowed against the windows 
and walls of the laundry. Bricks 
from the garage were hurled against 
the laundry windows. Natur- 
ally some glass was broken, but the 
steel bars were not affected. The 
fire did not get through, and after the

Sunshine Makes Good 
Advertising 


Since sunshine is rec- 
ognized as one of the 
greatest cleaners, it is but 
natural that many Fen- 
estrated Laundries should 
use their steel sash as a 
compelling advertising 
feature. 

Out in Omaha, the 
Evans Model Laundry is 
known as the ‘Daylight 
Laundry, ’’ because its walls contain 
3,325 square feet of Fenestra 
Windows. In Minneapolis the 
“Sunlight Laundry” is capitaliz- 
ing some 7,190 square feet of 
Fenestra. 

It is not uncommon either to use 
Fenestra as typical of the excellent 
working conditions which surround 
the employee. Arguments of this 
kind, used in advertisements for 
brought remarkable 
results. 


What is the Real Cost of a 
Window? 


Many laundry owners have an 
idea that the initial cost of Fenestra

makes it almost prohibitive. This 
is decidedly not the case. 


Fenestra is sometimes a little 
more expensive than wood sash— 
sometimes—not always. The price 
depends very largely on the design 
of the building and the types of 
sash desired. Mr. Leeper, of Bir- 
mingham, was pleasurably — sur- 
prised at the low cost of Fenestra. 
He writes: 


“We intended to use ordinary 
wood windows in our new laun- 
dry, because we did not know 
that the cost of Fenestra Solid 
Steel Windows compared favor- 
ably with that of wood sash. 

“When we investigated we 
decided in favor of Fenestra. 
Low cost and the many other 
advantages made Fenestra de- 
cidedly more desirable.” 


But after all, initial cost is not 
nearly so important as total cost. 
A little greater outlay at the start 
is more than offset by the savings 
effected in a single year’s time. 

Fenestra is an investment in 
future economy. Think of the in- 
creased efficiency, the decrease

in spoilage, the protection against 
fire, and the advantage of re- 
taining satisfied and experienced 
employees. 

Considered in the light of such 
fundamental economies, a slightly 
increased cost becomes a business 


opportunity which yields big re- 


turns on every dollar invested.
